This was part of my previous job when I used to work as a teacher and I was involved in the school's curriculum team to develop the way forward for the School's Development Plan. This presentation is an example and an excerpt.

Focusing our Intents
1.1 Clear Links between
Subjects
1.2 Consisitency and
Progression
1.4 Differentiated
Learning

4. 1.1 Learning will be presented, as much as possible,
in a holistic manner, with clear links between subjects.
We have to find a mechanism to identify :
•
•
•
•
•
T - Teams to create
T - Themes and
T - Think about
T - Teaching them creatively together within a
T - Time-Frame

5. 1.2 There will be consistency and progression
in all areas and levels
• A good link between primary and secondary
schooling.
• A plan is needed to strengthen :
•
1. networks between different levels
•
2. networks within a department.
• A need was felt to start with strengthing the core
subjects first.

6. 1.4 Learning will be differentiated according to
students’ abilities and learning preferences
• Introducing LML to Form 1 students
• Consolidating LML with Form 2 students
• Collaborative learning groups can be structured
according to LML different patterns
• Collaborative learning takes place hand in hand with
LML
• More teachers attend LML training

7. Gaining What ...?
• We will be preparing our students for the future
(1.12)
• We will still aim for tangible SEC results (1.13)
• We will have enough ground for a Learning
Policy (1.9)
• We would be able to involve the parents
because of what we have established (1.14)
• We should be able to evaluate our work
together. (1.10)

8. Further Suggestions . . .
• 5.1 Staff will be able to share good practice with
their colleagues in and out of school
• To emphasize peer support & team teaching
• Organize an in-house training at the end of the
scholastic year where teachers from within our school
share experiences of team-teaching throughout this
year.
• Share what went well & what didn’t
• And why not? Publish examples of good practice.
