Managing the change
Description
Across the country, dozens of schools have been experimenting with radically different ways of delivering the Key Stage 3 curriculum. There's widespread acknowledgment that the 20-year-old National Curriculum must evolve and change if it is to meet the needs of today's and tomorrow's pupils and employers. The move is towards a curriculum more based on skills and competencies. This programme looks at how some schools are changing, and at how changes are being managed by school leaders and are impacting on teachers. In some cases, staff and senior leadership teams work together to completely re-write the job descriptions of teachers who have done it their way for many years. It's a fascinating glimpse into the scale of change demanded by the new curriculum, and how that change can be effectively managed.
