Objectives • To explore further personal values of education • To become familiar with current thinking about the whole curriculum • To know and understand the rationale, structure and broad content of the National Curriculum • To become familiar with NC jargon • To begin to understand the context for the teaching of the Diplomas

  4. Your ideal school Work in two groups of 5 – imagine you are able to plan the curriculum of a brand new school: • What would be your goals for the learners in your school? What values would underpin your thinking? • How might students’ experience of school be designed to secure those goals and values? • What would be the mission statement for your school? • Be prepared to present a poster to outline your ideas to the group.

  5. Towards a definition of curriculum • As a group can we agree a definition of what we mean by curriculum? • Our ideas?

  6. A definition from QCA ‘A school’s curriculum consists of everything that promotes learners’ intellectual, personal, social and physical development. As well as lessons and extracurricular activities, it includes approaches to teaching, learning and assessment, the quality of relationships within school, and the values embodied in the way the school operates.’ Source http://curriculum.qca.org.uk/key-stages-3-and-4/organising-your-curriculum/principles_of_curriculum_design/index.aspx?return=/key-stages-3-and-4/organising-your-curriculum/index.aspx
