This publication responds to the opportunity offered by the 2008 key stage 3 curriculum to rethink what is on offer to learners in terms of understanding the global context that they are growing up in. It proposes a need to consider both the role of subjects and cross-curricular approaches. It builds up an overview of the potential for a connected curriculum drawing on the work of a wide range of Tide~ teacher groups. It also explores dilemmas and challenges. Enabling global learning through the KS3 curriculum offers a spectrum of ideas, activities and starting points as a stimulus to your own planning. It is complemented by a substantial bank of on-line support material for both learners and teacher CPD. This publication was launched at a conference in March 2009. Enabling a connected curriculum ~ opportunities for global learning at KS3. |
