Time to Shake Up the Primary Curriculum by Sarah Wordlaw Pdf

Developing children's voices raises awareness and empowerment, particularly in marginalised communities. It is important that children see themselves, their heritage, their cultures and their religions reflected and taught in schools – not as a tokenistic celebration day or week but weaved throughout the curriculum. Time to Shake Up the Primary Curriculum is a step-by-step guide on how to transform the curriculum content being taught in primary schools to better incorporate diversity into children's learning. Headteacher Sarah Wordlaw equips teachers and school leaders with the appropriate subject knowledge to deliver a curriculum that is comprehensive, inclusive and empowering, whilst also providing an opportunity for current and aspiring school leaders to develop their leadership skills. Covering history, geography, English, maths, science and the arts, this book will: - aid teachers in becoming more inclusive and aware practitioners - assist leaders in developing and implementing a whole-school strategic approach to delivering an inclusive curriculum, where everyone feels seen - drive OFSTED ranking to outstanding. It enables and empowers teachers and school leaders to remap the National Curriculum to include diverse, global topics to broaden children's understanding of their own community and wider society.

The Primary Curriculum Design Handbook by Brian Male Pdf

Schools across the world are struggling to balance the statutory requirements of a National Curriculum with their desire to provide the wide, engaging and exciting curriculum that they know children need. Concerns about standards often lead to a narrowing of the curriculum and many schools lack the confidence and approach to design that would enable them to resolve what seems like an impossible dilemma. In this authoritative yet engaging book, Brian Male looks at how schools can meet the requirements of a National Curriculum and yet be flexible enough to meet the needs, interests and concerns of pupils, to be rooted in their lives and localities and to give scope for teachers to use their own creativity. The Primary Curriculum Design Handbook is a practical guide on how to design a curriculum that will engage children's interest, excite their imaginations and at the same time provide them with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to live successfully in the 21st Century.

Knowledge and the Future School by Michael Young,David Lambert,Carolyn Roberts,Martin Roberts Pdf

Written at a time of uncertainty about the implications of the English government's curriculum policies, Knowledge and the Future School engages with the debate between the government and large sections of the educational community. It provides a forward-looking framework for head teachers, their staff and those involved in training teachers to use when developing the curriculum of individual schools in the context of a national curriculum. While explaining recent ideas in the sociology of educational knowledge, the authors draw on Michael Young's earlier research with Johan Muller to distinguish three models of the curriculum in terms of their assumptions about knowledge, referred to in this book as Future 1, Future 2 and Future 3. They link Future 3 to the idea of 'powerful knowledge' for all pupils as a curriculum principle for any school, arguing that the question of knowledge is intimately linked to the issue of social justice and that access to 'powerful knowledge' is a necessary component of the education of all pupils. Knowledge and the Future School offers a new way of thinking about the problems that head teachers, their staff and curriculum designers face. In charting a course for schools that goes beyond current debates, it also provides a perspective that policy makers should not avoid.
