Full day, face to face course in Manchester

This full-day course is aimed not only at producing an exciting, relevant and realistic KS3 curriculum, but linking it seamlessly to your delivery at KS4 and in turn creating a five-year D&T curriculum for your school.

Course objectives:

  • Triangulate your curriculum intent, impact and delivery
  • Focus on what’s suitable for your students in your school
  • Create a 5-year curriculum offering for your D&T department
  • Opportunities to discuss alternative approaches with other D&T teachers

 By participating in this course, you will learn:

  • How to audit/map your curriculum delivery
  • How to structure your key learning and apply the key D&T principles to learning
  • Practical examples of D&T units at KS3 and beyond
  • How other schools have successfully structured their KS3 curriculum
  • You are advised to bring a laptop/portable device with you.
