Subjects are brought together and explored under \"big ideas\" and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eA Curious Curriculum\u003c\/i\u003e, Claire Banks and Mick Waters share the story of one multi-academy trust (MAT) which designed and delivered a shared educational vision, a rationale for excellence in the curriculum, and the resources and support given to help reduce teachers' workload.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaire and Mick present a clear model both for supporting a group of schools or leading one school, offering a fresh perspective on working on a MAT-wide curriculum, as well as providing a range of snapshot examples of the curriculum in action - in the form of documents, plans, photos and the learners' own work. The book shares transferrable lessons from the trust's journey to success, setting out an educational philosophy that pairs pedagogy with a well-structured curriculum designed with learners' best interests at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll children deserve an engaging, exciting curriculum designed to spark their curiosity, feed their imagination and develop their skills and knowledge. With clear timelines and an honest and transparent dialogue about the challenges and benefits of working together collaboratively and the importance of external expertise, A Curious Curriculum is an essential read for all school leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for executive leaders, head teachers, curriculum coordinators and subject leaders in primary school settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.66 x 7.17 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47220817756409,"sku":"9781785836435","price":37.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/U1hwY2oxRjUrYnAzUXhsRHFseWN0QT09.webp?v=1768185077","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/a-curious-curriculum-teaching-foundation-subjects-well-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
