Units not projects - A learning-first approach to D&T
This 'Units not projects' course is aimed at teachers and subject leaders of design & technology to implement an effective curriculum structure that focuses on the learning needs of the students. This learning led approach can be carefully structured through strategically designed units of work rather than squeezing subject theory around a design and make project.
