Coming up next week

In week three, the final week of this introductory course on curriculum design, we will look at how you plan for formative assessment within schemes of learning and the links between science, mathematics and literacy skills.

If you have questions from the course, you can submit them to step 3.13 and Mark will answer them in the question and answer session.

Keep marking each step as complete as your progress through the course. Further details on getting recognition for your CPD are on step 3.15.
