Progression in Primary Design and Technology »

Many schools have great difficulty in identifying and maintaining progressive development in 'designing and making' skills in the primary classroom. This book will help teachers to recognise opportunities for progression by providing discussion of the issues and photocopiable activities that explore specific elements of the design and technology curriculum in depth. The activities provide a structured but flexible approach to professional development and will help the reader to focus on the teaching and learning of a specific skill or process. They provide a means to explore the issue of individual progression and to improve skills in teacher assessment. The book will stir debate and stimulate thought among professionals involved in primary education, and will equip them to put progression into practice in their classrooms.
