Key Strategies S.

This handbook seeks to show how the revised "Design and Technology National Curriculum" can be covered and assessed through one unit of work each term in Key Stages 1 and 2. It has been written to help primary teachers plan and implement the revised "Design and Technology National Curriculum". It considers new statutory requirements and provides a sample policy and scheme of work which can be followed directly or adapted to a school's own needs. Alternatively, the framework and the photocopiable sheets can be used by a school developing its own policy and scheme of work. The sample scheme of work consists of six units of work for Key Stage 1 and 12 units of work for Key Stage 2, which cover all the requirements of the programmes of study. The units of work, one for each term, include: focused practical tasks to teach new skills; disassembly and evaluative activities, which look at existing products; and design and make activities. There is guidance on assessment to help teachers use the level descriptions. All units of work can be carried out in a normal primary classroom and do not require specialist knowledge of design and technology.
The section on tools and materials helps schools identify the main equipment needed for design and technology activities and illustrates the basic techniques required.

This is a practical handbook which shows how the Science Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2 can be covered and assessed in a manageable amount of curriculum time. It is intended for the use of primary teachers, primary headteachers and primary science co-ordinators. The book has been written to give primary teachers the knowledge, confidence and guidance to help them teach the Science Programme of Study for Key Stages 1 and 2. It begins with sections on drawing up a Science Policy and Framework, including an example of each and photocopiable planning sheets. The book also provides a sample scheme of work which teachers can use as it stands or which they can adapt to their own requirements. The scheme of work is made up of activities which cover all aspects of the strands for Key Stages 1 and 2. A bank of open-ended investigations is provided, one for each strand at each Key Stage. The book also contains advice on assessment.
This work provides teachers with a range of practical strategies for implementing the requirements of the revised order for National Curriculum Geography in Key Stages 1 and 2. The material is intended for the use of teachers in primary schools in England and Wales. The book is a comprehensive guide to the radically revised Geography curriculum which is to be introduced in schools in September, 1995. It constitutes important reading for all KS1 and KS2 Geography co-ordinators. The book also provides practical help with all the most important issues in planning, teaching, monitoring and assessing Primary Geography. It puts a particular emphasis on illustrating how the new statutory requirements can be taught so as to provide a worthwhile and coherent Geography entitlement for each pupil.
