IMPORTANT NOTICE!
If you're teaching Buddhism at GCSE level you can save yourself a LOT of time by downloading our 5-Star 20-lesson GCSE Buddhism course here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-buddhism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-11410236
This 20 lessons scheme of work lays out, lesson by lesson, the topics to be covered for the teaching of Hinduism at GCSE Level in the first year (as one of two religions).
It is based on the Full-Course OCR B Specification for Religious Studies released in 2016.
The SoW outlines everything that needs to be taught in the first section of the course [Beliefs and teachings & Practices] (where Buddhism is taught alongside another religion of your choosing).
In short, this scheme of work covers teachers who:
-Want to teach Buddhism as a comparative religion at GCSE level (using the OCR B Specification)
-Want a course-design for a secondary/high-school level unit on Buddhism.
Each lesson will, in time, have resources to accompany them in our shop:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/godwin86
We hope to offer every single lesson on this SoW, allowing any R.S. teacher on the OCR B specification to teach Hinduism throughout the first year of the 2-year GCSE course.
