QCDA produce new-look National Curriculum website
10 February 2010
This week sees the launch of the revised National Curriculum website, which now includes the new primary curriculum and a range of tools and information to support it, including:
an interactive video tour of the site's highlights
a short introductory guide to the new primary curriculum
a tool to help teachers design and plan their own curriculum
an interactive tool which allows teachers to view selected curriculum areas side-by-side
new case studies which show how schools have used their curriculum to make real improvements in outcomes for their learners
The website is a big step forward in making the curriculum easily accessible for all. Schools and teachers now have the information and support to start planning for the introduction of this new curriculum. QCDA will be adding more material to the site during 2010, including professional development materials, guidance and enhanced online tools.
The secondary part of the website now includes a section on evaluating your curriculum, more information on curriculum design and improved links from subject areas.
QCDA have worked with heads and teachers and with accessibility experts to help ensure that the website is useful, intuitive to use, and more accessible for disabled users.
Alongside web-based resources, QCDA has produced a new primary handbook and introductory guidance, which are being sent to all schools and local authorities during February. A team of regional primary curriculum network advisers will be working with local authorities to support the development of local programmes of support and identify and disseminate good practice.
