This document provides resources for planning and progression in teaching and learning. It includes lists of resources such as documents on the national curriculum in England, pedagogy and practice in secondary schools, and resources for specific subjects like English, geography, and history. The resources contain strategies, guidelines, and materials applicable across educational phases and topics to support curriculum design, teaching models, and student progression.
Planning and Progression Initial Teacher Education Resource List
1. Theme: Planning and Progression
This is one of 11 lists of themed resources originally created as a result of recommendations by participants at a series of eight HEA workshops held around England in spring/summer 2012. In this sense, they form a record of the views of the particular contributors, and are not intended to be exhaustive, or exclusive.
We also created a new list of resources on Curriculum design which should be consulted alongside this list.
Lists are in alphabetical order, and enough information is included in the referencing to allow resources to be located readily. If the individual resources are to be used (in course documentation, academic work, etc.), you may need to adapt this to fit your own institutional requirements.
