Raising Attainment in Primary DT
At its best, Design Technology helps children become critical thinkers and metacognitive learners, and develop practical skills in a range of settings. But the creative process in DT can sometimes be a bit aimless and unsophisticated. How do we ensure that DT skills and knowledge are being taught in enough depth, and in a progressive way? This course will provide a host of ideas for framing children’s creativity in DT in a logical and cohesive way. We will:
- Explore how DT can be developed into a more integral part of the curriculum
- Develop a richer understanding of the two elements of DT: engineering and food technology
- Show you how to improve teaching and learning in DT in simple and practical ways
