How are you getting on?

1) Pairwork

Take 3 minutes to tell each other the best thing your department has done for the new curriculum, then swap over.

2) Talk to your partner about any barriers you have encountered to moving forward with the new curriculum - what would ease this?

What does it look like in practice?

Use your curriculum overview to consider

how these classroom examples reflect the

spirit of the new curriculum.

Which skills are layered within

each context?
