Teaching Buddhism at GCSE [Scheme of Work (SoW)] [Designed for OCR B R.S. (J625/04) (J625/09)]

This 2-year scheme of work lays out, lesson by lesson, the topics to be covered for the teaching of Buddhism at GCSE Level.

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) and, crucially, a plan for teaching Buddhism as the sole religion for the 'Religion, philosophy and ethics in the modern world from a religious perspective ’ section of the course.

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 to teach Buddhism as main religion of study for the second part of the OCR B course.
-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:

We hope to offer every single lesson on this SoW, allowing any R.S. teacher on the OCR B specification to teach Buddhism throughout the 2-year GCSE course.
