Feedback/suggestions very welcome.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="collectie" aria-label="Emoji: collectie">= a summary of each year group and a few things I’m thinking as HoD.
H/T to top collaborator @eharrison810 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Sterren zien" aria-label="Emoji: Sterren zien">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚠️" title="Waarschuwingsteken" aria-label="Emoji: Waarschuwingsteken"> Plenty to do: some units tried + tested, some not planned yet!
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="7️⃣" title="Nummertoets zeven" aria-label="Emoji: Nummertoets zeven"> Made some solid gains this year. 2 lessons a week. This document is less complete than others…!
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="8⃣" title="Nummertoets acht" aria-label="Emoji: Nummertoets acht">The most work still to do in time for delivery next year, but finally happier with the content. This is by far the hardest section to get right. 2 lessons a week.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="9️⃣" title="Nummertoets negen" aria-label="Emoji: Nummertoets negen"> The most embedded. One or two tweaks I’d still make, but generally happy with it! 3 lessons a fortnight.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔀" title="Gedraaide naar rechts wijzende pijlen" aria-label="Emoji: Gedraaide naar rechts wijzende pijlen"> Note 3: Representation
Many enquiries have more diverse stories & better representation woven in, but we had to choose areas to leave out- as they have few sequenced & coherent connections to other topics. I call this as The South America Problem. Not sure it need solving?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Grafiek met stijgende trend" aria-label="Emoji: Grafiek met stijgende trend"> Note 4: Representation
To be clear, it’s NOT perfect, there are valid criticisms. But it’s MUCH better than it was. We’ve improved with reasonable pace and workload, despite the chaos of covid-19.

So, not perfect but way *better,* which is a REALLY important reflection.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏘" title="Huizen" aria-label="Emoji: Huizen"> Note 5: Structure
We have lots of small enquiries. The potential fragmentation problem is dealt with by explicit teaching of connections between the content of units, but also the development of themes and substantive concepts over time. It does allow us to cover more ground!
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐢" title="Zeeschildpad" aria-label="Emoji: Zeeschildpad"> Note 7: Implementation
I don’t think “constantly updating” is helpful- nothing gets time to bed in.
It doesn& #39;t leave time to think hard about pedagogy or, crucially, evaluate the effect of sequencing across years.
Fine-tuning, for 2 yrs minimum, once this doc is finalised.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐢" title="Zeeschildpad" aria-label="Emoji: Zeeschildpad"> Note 7 contd
Therefore, for at least two years we will embed and fine-tune:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪️" title="Klein zwart vierkant" aria-label="Emoji: Klein zwart vierkant"> Subject knowl across Dept
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪️" title="Klein zwart vierkant" aria-label="Emoji: Klein zwart vierkant"> Pedagogical approaches
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪️" title="Klein zwart vierkant" aria-label="Emoji: Klein zwart vierkant"> Assessment across Dept
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪️" title="Klein zwart vierkant" aria-label="Emoji: Klein zwart vierkant"> Ongoing Dept priority of historical writing.

All of this is still & #39;curriculum development.& #39;
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏗" title="Bouwterrein" aria-label="Emoji: Bouwterrein"> Note 8: Implementation
If/when we do absolutely need to bring in new units entirely, or rework an approach to work on a disciplinary concept more effectively, it is made much easier to achieve with the shorter units that we can lift out to drop new ones in. H/T @richkbristol
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📆" title="Scheurkalender" aria-label="Emoji: Scheurkalender"> Note 9: Implementation
The curriculum development calendar must start in May. Much of the major work we already know about- sure we may tweak a few things after Aug results, but we can’t miss the chance to use half term 6 properly. So…

Gained time is not a total myth. As HoD, I calculate GT for each teacher & allocate tasks proportionately. Taster/transition days etc reduce that, so I only direct for ~60%. But doing this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👆🏻" title="Rug van hand met omhoog wijzende wijsvinger (lichte huidskleur)" aria-label="Emoji: Rug van hand met omhoog wijzende wijsvinger (lichte huidskleur)"> now, & having the chat in note 4, I’m ready to do this now.

I am hugely grateful to many people for expertise, collaboration & shared ideas. To name a few: (deep breath!) @eharrison810, @katypotts82, @garrylittlewood, @richkbristol, @jonniegrande, @N_kesterton, @sehartsmith, @michaeldoron, @OliveyJacob, @Counsell_C
@mrbwteach, @MsQuinnHistory, @First_floor_8, @mrwbw, @Ruth_Ashbee, @tomallenhistory, @apf102, @SnelsonH, @ed_durbin @hannahcusworth.

Of course I& #39;ve learned tons from @histassoc folk and chats with four ace SLDP cohorts!

Plus *tons* of others who may spot their own influence.

The people above deserve much of the credit, but all mistakes, errors and shortcomings are my own… I would love to hear things that would enrich these units, or ideas about how we are doing this. I would genuinely love feedback and ideas!

Not sure why..? Lots of roadmap/learning journey summary things, but not this kind of doc.

I’d LOVE to see equivalents to this one as points of comparison.
