  8. Gap Analysis • Task 1: Finding your gaps • Discuss what you have bought and its effectiveness. Ask yourself: How interesting are the topics? Is there any repetition? How current is it? How and what skills are developed? • Work through your own scheme and tick which parts of the national curriculum are covered using the tick sheet. • Discuss briefly if/how it fits into the new curriculum.

  9. Sharing best practice • Task 2: Filling in the gaps • Each person who has a topic covered to suggest a new idea to enhance their colleague's scheme of work/link better to the new curriculum. • Share any fieldwork opportunities, especially places in your borough/London.

  10. Curriculum planning approaches • Task 3: Closing the gap • Think about the topics your group have been given. Record ideas on paper clearly. Ask yourself: • Have you taught this topic before? • Which year group is it best suited to? • How would you tackle this topic? • Sketch out enquiry questions and learning objectives for the topic (break down into learning objectives for 6 lessons if you prefer) • Discuss fieldwork opportunities • Discuss assessment opportunities • Any other points to share e.g. case study ideas.
