This article considers the notion of difference as we experience it in our daily lives, and specifically, within the classroom between pupils and teachers. Drawing on research and work with schools in the south of England, the paper describes how the Working with Others Unit at the University of Brighton has developed a practical process approach to exposing and working with difference in the classroom. In outlining this process and its impact on the class group, the paper explores how relationships and difference are recognized, negotiated and utilized in learning among the class group. The paper proposes that, as well as engaging with the theme of difference, this practical approach offers an understanding of spiritual education that is applicable and relevant for today's classrooms and pupils.
