I really enjoyed the warm welcome for the second time at Northgate and it was great to meet so many enthusiastic teachers again with so many ideas to share. It's really good to have been part of the New Secondary Curriculum support from the outset too because I can really see the massive development that there has been in response to it over the course of the last 18 months. It is really good that we are beginning to be able to think about evaluating in our schools the new curriculum that year 7 has been experiencing, with a view to taking on board the findings from student voice to enable us to be confident about changes we might want to make, and also about how to continue on to year 8 developments from September this year. As promised, here are various documents from this afternoon's event: firstly, the Download Suffolk 110209 Twilight
PowerPoint slides that we started with including the results from my student voice survey. Here is the survey itself if you would like to use or adapt it for evaluating aspects of your year 7 curriculum with students.

We also had a look at the PLTS and how they might be at work in our teaching and learning with year 7. Here is the PLTS pdf Download PLTS framework as well as a the A4 page summary of the MFL POS Download Posataglance2 Don't forget to go to the ALL new secondary curriculum website - it has lots of guidance and helpful documents, case studies and resource ideas for teaching the new curriculum.
For any of the lesson materials and ideas that I showed today, please browse the blog entry below this one from Saturday 7 February the ALL London Event. I have grouped the materials and ideas around the themes that I spoke about there and things should be easy to find I hope!
