Task 1: Finding your gaps



Discuss what you have bought and its
effectiveness. Ask yourself: How interesting
are the topics? Is there any repetition? How
current is it? How and what skills are
developed?
Work through your own scheme and tick
which parts of the national curriculum are
covered using the tick sheet.
Discuss briefly if/how it fits into the new
curriculum.
Sharing best practice

Task 2: Filling in the gaps
Each person who has a topic covered
to suggest a new idea to enhance
their colleague's scheme of work/link
better to the new curriculum.
 Share any fieldwork opportunities,
especially places in your
borough/London.

Task 3: Closing the gap

Think about the topics your group have
been given. Record ideas on paper
clearly. Ask yourself:
•
•
•
•
Have you taught this topic before?
Which year group is it best suited to?
How would you tackle this topic?
Sketch out enquiry questions and learning objectives for the
topic (break down into learning objectives for 6 lessons if you
prefer)
• Discuss fieldwork opportunities
• Discuss assessment opportunities
