1.Thanks @Counsell_C #CurriculumEd2019 for hanging on! Inspirational keynote. Contextualised knowledge beats free-floating skills. Challenging concepts eminently teachable when we see curriculum as preparation. Difficulty is relative to familiarity & familiarity can be crafted.
2.Curriculum is deliberately crafted readiness. Introduce children to as much of it as possible as coherently as possible through repeated specific examples. Resonance & connection create surprising familiarity between the new & strange.
3. Difficulty is never absolute - it is relative to the knowledge reference points pupils already have. Teacher is the expert who can teach what’s not accessible elsewhere. Acid test of a Key Stage is what pupils are ready to do next - links to @ClareSealy Chekhov’s armoury.
