Responding to the Curriculum and Assessment Review
The proposed curriculum principles in the Curriculum and Assessment Review reinforce the aim for a coherent and ambitious vision of education that seeks to secure entitlement, knowledge, and professional autonomy.
These principles underline an ambition for a curriculum that allows both children and teachers to thrive.
Yet, as with all curriculum design, the challenge is not only in the articulation of principles, but in their enactment.
The test is in how they are lived in classrooms, translated through teachers’ expertise, and ultimately experienced by students.
