Creating an inclusive approach to the wider curriculum in the Primary class

In recent years, primary teachers have been challenged with the task of delivering high quality learning across all foundation subjects, whilst ensuring provision that meets the needs of increasing numbers of vulnerable learners. In this session, we will explore how teachers can excite children with an engaging curriculum whilst actively reinforcing key skills and removing barriers to learning.

Through this online session, we will cover:

• Addressing barriers to learning in the wider curriculum such as limited early language, low exposure to real life contexts, low aspiration
• Building in opportunities to reinforce key skills, such as reading
• The crucial role of high-quality resources
• Opportunities for meaningful and purposeful learning experiences first-hand
• Ensuring well-sequenced component knowledge to ensure progression
• Strategies to ensure children ‘know more and remember more'

This session is for Primary Teachers including ECTs.
