SAVE 20% - ONLY £15.20 RRP £18.99 - SPECIAL OFFER FOR A LIMITED TIME ABOUT THIS BOOK This is the third book in a three-volume series on School & College Curriculum Design from the best-selling author of 'Making Key Stage 3 Count' and 'How to Become a School Leader'. This book tackles 'curriculum impact' and is aimed at leaders and teachers in primary, secondary and further education settings. Book One was about 'curriculum intent', all the planning that happens before teaching happens. As such, it explored the 'why?' and the 'what?' of education. Book Two was about 'curriculum implementation', all the teaching that happens next. As such, it explored the 'how?' of education - the way in which teachers translate curriculum plans into classroom practice. This book, meanwhile, is about 'curriculum impact' - the 'how successfully?' of education. This book argues that, if the purpose of education is to prepare pupils for the next stage of their education, employment and lives, then the ways in which we measure 'impact' must go beyond qualification outcomes. Indeed, if we are to focus on the real substance of education, provide a broad and balanced curriculum that's ambitious for all and tackles social justice issues, then we should measure the impact of all this. As such, this book posits that 'impact' is at least threefold - it is to: 1.Evaluate the effectiveness of the way in which the curriculum is designed, 2.Evaluate the effectiveness of the way in which the curriculum is taught, 3.Evaluate the pace of pupil progress, pupil outcomes, and pupils' preparedness for their next steps.
