Join us for a dynamic conference addressing the current landscape of curriculum development and educational resources.
With the existing National Curriculum now being over ten years old, suppliers are having to develop, modernise and innovate to improve their offer to schools. At this year's Curriculum Conference, we will be exploring how suppliers can continue to develop and innovate high-quality resources into the next ten years. The day will offer delegates the chance to take part in multi-modal masterclasses, listen to leaders from the schools sector, and gain insights from the latest research.
Key highlights include:
- Member Masterclasses: Participate in Member Masterclasses offering a choice of three breakout rooms covering issues in different modes of curriculum delivery. Learn how rich media can be used to tell powerful stories in the curriculum, how new AI technologies can create learning experiences never before imagined, or how you protect your brilliant products with copyright.
- Hearing from School Leaders: A brilliant curriculum is one that is accessible to all. Listen to experts in the schools sector explore novel approaches to curriculum design that focus on engagement from pupils a range of backgrounds and skills.
- Understanding the latest research: Delve into the most recent developments in education research. This session offers a direct line to the latest findings in reading and curriculum design, presented by the researchers themselves.
Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to connect with peers and seek guidance from experts.
