Year Seven Curriculum Model

We have tried to simplify the model in this description - requiring only that we cover the focus element of the competence rather than all 5 elements.

THEME defines CONTEXT
COMPETENCE(S) prompt LEARNING
SUBJECT provides CONTENT

A) Learning Competence – 5Rs
Two elements describing character – "resilience" and "responsible"
Two elements framing learning methods – "resourceful" and "reasoning"
"Reflective" providing L2L opportunities, primarily through the plenary

B) Second Focus Competence
To focus planning tightly, it is suggested that students experience a co-ordinated programme that features just the chosen highlighted element of the competence, ie "diversity," "team roles," "evaluate."

C) Tracking
We will track three elements within Plan Easy 2:
Competences (Learning and each descriptor of the second focus competence)
Literacy
A4L

At the start of each new module we will be provided with an update of common dimensions of numeracy, ICT and L2L that will be featured within the module.
