This is the second in a 3-volume series on School & College Curriculum Design from the best-selling author of 'Making Key Stage 3 Count' and 'How to Become a School Leader'. Book One was about curriculum intent, all the planning that happens before teaching happens. As such, it explored the 'why?' and the 'what?' of education. This book is about all the teaching that happens next. It deals with the way in which teachers translate curriculum plans into classroom practice. In other words, it is about the 'how?' of education. It articulates a 6-step process: 1 CREATE THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, 2 GAIN THE ACTIVE ATTENTION OF LEARNERS' WORKING MEMORIES, 3 ENCODE INFORMATION IN LONG-TERM MEMORY, 4 REPEATEDLY RETRIEVE INFORMATION FROM LONG-TERM MEMORY, 5 ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY FIRST TEACHING, 6 DEVELOP THE CULTURES AND SYSTEMS.
