Description
A Curious Curriculum: Teaching foundation subjects well offers a fresh perspective on curriculum design and delivery. Written by Claire Banks and Mick Waters, this book provides a clear model for schools to create a rich, rigorous, and wide-ranging curriculum that encourages active participation from children. The authors focus on the foundation subjects of history, geography, science, design and technology, and art and design, exploring how these can be brought together under "big ideas". The emphasis is on extending and challenging children, rather than just covering superficial material. By sharing a real-life example of a multi-academy trust's curriculum development process, the authors offer practical guidance for schools looking to improve their teaching and reduce workload. This book provides a range of resources and support, including documents, plans, photos, and examples of learners' work, making it an invaluable resource for teachers and school leaders.
