**A complete guide for trainees and teachers
**To prepare to teach the new Primary National Curriculum, trainees need
more than just the Programmes of Study. Trainee teachers need a resource
to help them understand, plan for, teach and assess the curriculum. This
is the guide to planning the Primary National Curriculum.
This book explores how to plan in primary schools. It covers curriculum
design and structure, challenges to learning, and how children learn.
New in this edition is a piece on Decolonising the Curriculum.
**
**For each curriculum subject the programme of study is included, with
notes to help students interpret it for in practice. The text covers how
the teaching of each subject can be organised, assessment opportunities,
key and essential resources in each subject, and how ICT can best be
used in each subject to enhance teaching. Sequenced lesson examples in
all subject chapters link theory to practice and highlight
progression.
The final section of the book explores the many ways in which the
curriculum can be delivered. It includes the creative curriculum,
dialogic teaching, cross-curricular learning and more current thinking
about interpreting the curriculum.
