ONLINE RESOURCES

DAN supports its members by sourcing and promoting excellent resources including teaching units with accompanying resources and ideas on curriculum planning.

These resources are generously contributed by teachers who are committed to improving the standard of teaching and learning in Values, Philosophy & Religious Studies in Australia and New Zealand. Resources are shared with the permission of the respective schools in which they have been developed. All material posted here is available for DAN members for classroom use only and is not to be reproduced for any other purpose without prior written consent from the DAN EO.

Note for contributors to the DAN Website

DAN exists to promote a relevant and rigorous approach to teaching RAVE.

As such, we are not seeking to post units of work that replicate what can be found in textbooks and which assess facts with closed questions (which has merit in certain contexts but which is not our particular aim here).

Rather, we are seeking units of work that:

  • foster intellectual rigour
  • stimulate independent critical thought
  • ensure the integration of understanding with personal experience
  • provide creative assessment tools

Example: World Religions Exercise

Rather than simply assess students on their knowledge of the meaning of words, a tool like this requires them to integrate understanding and apply in a context.
