Primary D&T: Teaching The Iterative Design Process
Updated: Jun 10
I wrote this article a while back when I was a deputy head with responsibility for curriculum, teaching and learning, and was in the throws of re-developing a Design & Technology ~(D&T) curriculum I'd only developed a couple of years before. It was published in HWRK Magazine and can be read on their website here. The whole of the issue it appeared in can also be downloaded here.

"It was such a fantastic opportunity to get to work with Aidan; he is very knowledgeable about teaching and learning, and designing a curriculum. Aidan ensured that I was clear and confident about my vision for D&T, in turn helping me to develop a plan going forward for our curriculum. Aidan reassured me every step of the way and answered all questions honestly, even the ones I was worried were silly!
Going forward I feel confident to design the D&T curriculum for our school, I feel confident creating progression maps, and monitoring the subject, ensuring it is being championed in our school. Thank you so much for your help!"
