These are teaching resources for use in Religious and Moral Education, and describe some of the stories of various Buddhist traditions. Although the resources have been created in consultation with Education Scotland and Scottish school teachers, we hope they will also be useful to teachers in other parts of the UK (or even beyond).
The resource is structured to meet the Education Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence standard for RME. The resource is divided according to the three structuring principles of the experiences and outcomes for RME in Scotland: Beliefs, Values and Issues, and Practices and Traditions. Keywords are also provided to indicate the particular relevance of the story.
The file contains six stories in PDF format, sorted by the principles stated above, and an introduction to Jakatas. The What’s It Tree and the Prince Vessantara stories both have accompanying PowerPoint Presentations for illustrative purposes.
The full collection of resources is downloadable in a zipped folder. Selected documents are duplicated outwith this main folder to allow for previews to be displayed on tes.
