This discussion activity is designed to engage practitioners with stimulating ideas and evidence about curriculum innovation and to help them spot the connections with their own context and learning needs.

The activity stimulates lively and structured dialogue about how pupils experience the curriculum and how schools can build such experiences into a cumulative whole. Exploring the evidence in depth and in the context of their own and others’ practice will provide a stepping-stone to enable them to use theory and research to help them think more broadly and deeply about the curriculum and to plan further development.

Designed by experts and road tested every inch of the way by teachers, this inspirational six-pack series will transform your approach to mentoring and coaching. As CPD co-ordinators you will fi nd the packs an invaluable resource. They will help you enthuse and inspire colleagues and equip them with the skills they need for professional learning - to develop their practice, to enhance their subject expertise – or to tackle those tricky learning or behavioural problems in their classrooms. It will also help your school, because you will be building mentoring and coaching skills amongst your colleagues. This will help the school keep up to date with new initiatives such as performance management, and develop a successfully tried and tested approach to school improvement through changes which aren’t forced. You’ll find the six Effective Mentoring and Coaching packs full of ideas for building ownership through collaboration and encouraging teachers to interpret and adapt new approaches for their own particular pupils or subject.
