DfE Primary National Curriculum Guidance 2020 Support for KS3 teachers Shaping the Year 7 Curriculum: Building on Year 6
Aims and outline of the session This set of slides offers a possible structure for a department meeting introducing the 2020 DfE guidance document Teaching Mathematics in Primary School and considering its implications for Year 7 teaching and beyond. The aims of the session are to: inform colleagues about the July 2020 maths guidance and its content provide an opportunity for discussion about your current Year 7 teaching and schemes of work (part one of the meeting) explore the Year 6 ready-to-progress criteria in depth and implications for your Year 7 curriculum (part two of the meeting) identify and prioritise issues arising from the meeting to set an agenda for more long-term change and development (next steps).
In preparation for this professional development session 1. View the video Overview of mathematics guidance for key stages 1 and 2 Year 6 (14 mins long) [Link here] [N.B. Optional as preparation: this could be viewed together in part two of the session] 2. Download and/or print out the document Mathematics Guidance: Year 6 [Link here] 3. Have a quick look at the ready-to-progress criteria (pages 9 12) from the Mathematics Guidance: Year 6 document 4. Read the one-page introduction to Shaping the Year 7 Curriculum: Building on Year 6
Part One: Taking stock (15 mins) Points for discussion: What do we mean by secondary ready ? What aspects of knowledge, skills and understanding do we want students to have in order to be ready for our Year 7 curriculum? How do we find out whether these aspects are in place? Is our Year 7 curriculum structured in such a way that we build on students existing knowledge and fill any gaps if they exist? What works well? What changes might we need to make?
Part Two: Exploring the ready-to-progress (RTP) criteria (45 mins/30 mins) View the video Overview of mathematics guidance for key stages 1 and 2 Year 6 (14 mins long) [Link here] [N.B. Optional in this part of the session: this could be done as preparation.] Form groups of two or three. Each group to take a different key idea comprised of a cluster of the RTP criteria For your chosen key idea, read the relevant Shaping the Year 7 curriculum document (available here) together and discuss: where and when in our curriculum have we built in teaching and learning opportunities related to this idea? is it a coherent journey for the student, finding out about what they already know and building on it? Re-convene and feedback to your colleagues on your conclusions, giving examples where you might make changes to your provision.
Part 3: Next steps Choose a key idea for which you have identified a need for development (in your schemes of work and/or your teaching) Use the links to the Secondary Mastery Professional Development Materials offered in the relevant Shaping the Year 7 curriculum document to develop activities and teaching approaches Identify sections of your current scheme of work which might be adapted and make necessary changes
