  • Career-Long Professional Learning: Islam
    Religious and Moral Education / Religious Education in Roman Catholic Schools Professional Learning Paper Career-long Professional Learning: Islam The purpose of this professional learning paper This professional learning paper aims to support Career-long Professional Learning (CLPL) in Religious and Moral Education specifically in relation to teaching about Islam. This paper has been produced collaboratively by Education Scotland and the Muslim Council of Scotland and the Alwaleed Centre at the University of Edinburgh to support practitioners t o develop and deepen their knowledge and understanding of Islam and so support the delivery of high quality learning and teaching about Islam in the Broad General Education. This briefing paper aims to support practitioners through Career-long professional Learning (CLPL) around Islam and Muslim belief and life. It is important to note that CLPL is a career-long process and that there is no expectation that practitioners can answer all of the questions contained in this paper now. Instead these questions should guide practitioners through reflecting and evaluating their own knowledge and understanding. This should support practitioners in planning and delivering high quality religious and moral education which addresses learning about Islam accurately and authentically. This will assist learners in developing their understanding of Muslim beliefs, values, practices and traditions and so contribute to improved understanding of Islam, and a greater awareness of the diversity of belief in modern Scotland. It is considered that understanding Muslim beliefs, values and practices and traditions will contribute significantly to a Scotland where everyone is valued and respected. What do I know and understand about Islam? The Route Map through CLPL in RME provides broad guidance around developing professional knowledge and understanding in RME, and is a good starting point for practitioners in considering how to broaden and deepen their knowledge and understanding of a topic area in RME.

    Document 1: Email exchange regarding capacity restrictions on places of worship – 8 July 2020 From: [Redacted – section 38(1)(b)] Sent: 08 July 2020 14:35 To: Marshall R (Robert); Leitch J (Jason); [Redacted – section 38(1)(b)]; Dornan B (Brian) Cc: [Redacted – section 38(1)(b)]; Curtis PS (Penelope) Subject: RE: Faith groups Importance: High Hi all [Redacted – section 38(1)(b)] Just to add, we were just discussing this and [Redacted – section 38(1)(b)] has pulled together some options with illustrative examples. We think option 2 is workable and might satisfy FM/SpAds? Option 1: Maximum cap of 30 – in line with proposed cap for marriages and funerals Pros: This would allow a consistent number of attendees within a place of worship irrespective of the ceremony. Cons: [Redacted – S30(b)(ii)] Option 2: Capacity determined by the 2m physical distancing regulation up to a maximum of 100. Pros: This would allow POW to have autonomy to set their own maximum capacity dependent on their specific establishment. This would also allow establishment with large venues such as Glasgow Central mosque to limit the number of attendees to a more management and safer level. Cons: This would still allow 100 people to gather indoors but with physical distancing measures in place. Options 3: % cap set by SG in line with the 2m physical distance (to be decided but could be 15% which would be lower than the guidance for workplaces etc) Pros: This would allow POW the autonomy to determine their own maximum level for attendees based on their particular establishment.
