[THREAD] What a fantastic afternoon unpicking and questioning how to best approach curriculum design in science with the brilliant 2020 cohort of #ExpertMiddleLeaders - as a jumping off point here are some areas for further reading that might be useful and thought provoking [1/6]
[CURRICULUM OVERALL] As an overview there is no better place to start than @adamboxer1's Science Curriculum Symposium: https://achemicalorthodoxy.wordpress.com/2018/12/02/curriculum-in-science-a-symposium/
And, @Mr_Raichura's article overviewing the creation of a science curriculum is also excellent: https://bunsenblue.wordpress.com/2018/06/23/designing-a-science-curriculum-my-redrugby-talk/ [2/6]

[SEQUENCING] There is lots out there on sequencing but two very interesting places to start are the following from @DJGteaching and @CMooreAnderson:

[POWERFUL K/CULTURAL CAPITAL] To continue your thinking around the importance of these ideas/how they might manifest in curricula, some suggestions of starting points as follows:
From @Ruth_Ashbee: https://rosalindwalker.wordpress.com/2019/10/18/powerful-knowledge-what-it-is-why-its-important-and-how-to-make-it-happen-in-your-school/
And from @sci_challenge: https://thescienceteacher.co.uk/powerful-knowledge/

[HINTERLAND K] Also, related to this is this excellent piece from @adamboxer1 on the importance of hinterland knowledge in the curriculum: https://achemicalorthodoxy.wordpress.com/2019/02/01/core-and-hinterland-whats-what-and-why-it-matters/
