KS3/4 RE - Teaching RE to Muslim Students: Studying Islam
Mick Walker, head of RE at Nab Wood School, teaches a lesson exploring Muslim attitudes to issues of peace and conflict.
The school serves a diverse population in the Bradford area and most students are Muslim. Mick firmly believes that schools shouldn't avoid controversial areas of the curriculum as students need to be given the opportunity to articulate their concerns, their anxieties, their fears and their worries in school.
Mick's lesson objectives centre around:
- the exploration of how the media represents Muslims and Islam
- a balanced understanding of what Muslims mean by the term Jihad
- the examination of when Muslims should fight and what the conditions would be for a just war within Islam

Tackling controversial issues10 July 2008 - 18:44
I think Mick has done extremely good job in what could be a daunting situation for a non-Muslim teacher. Perhaps, in some ways, it was actually easier that the class was all Muslim. For teachers who haven't yet acquired the experience that Mick has, perhaps it would be worth building up a working partnership with a local Muslim organisation or individual who can come in and provide support. Make sure it's someone born and brought up in Britain, who understands our youth and can be a good role model.
