CPD pack: Taking curriculum seriously
The aim of our CPD packs is to support members in further exploring the themes raised in an issue of our journal, Impact. CPD packs provide guidance and resources to help facilitate staff CPD based on key articles from each issue.
This pack is related to the article, ‘Taking curriculum seriously‘, written by Christine Counsell.
The packs are designed to be flexible so they can be used and adapted to deliver a one-off session or a longer series of CPD opportunities. The facilitator notes contain suggestions for how to shorten or extend activities depending on whether you wish to provide a brief snapshot of the research or explore the concepts over a longer time period. We recognise that preparing and resourcing high quality CPD in schools and colleges is both time consuming and expensive, and we hope that these CPD packs will help reduce teachers’ and school leaders’ workload as well as providing a supportive framework enabling all school members to facilitate CPD confidently.
The pack
The materials below allow teachers to consider what curriculum is and what is important to take into account when designing a curriculum. There’ll be an opportunity, in particular, to reflect on the impact of substantive and disciplinary knowledge on curriculum design.
