Bloomsbury CPD Library: Secondary Curriculum and Assessment Design

This insightful guide helps educators navigate curriculum and assessment design, empowering them to enhance their teaching practices and adapt to recent educational reforms.

In the context of recent government reforms in the UK, schools are now faced with the challenge of enhancing their curriculum and assessment design. The book Bloomsbury CPD Library: Secondary Curriculum and Assessment Design addresses the complexities that arise from this new landscape, where school leaders are expected to take a proactive approach towards curriculum development. While this shift brings excitement and opportunities for innovation, it also raises concerns among educators who may feel ill-equipped to navigate these changes effectively.

As teachers increasingly turn to digital resources, social media, and educational blogs for professional development, there is a growing movement towards self-directed learning. This book aims to bridge the gap between these two dynamics by providing educators with the tools and insights necessary to design effective curriculum and assessment strategies. Through a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical examples, Bloomsbury CPD Library: Secondary Curriculum and Assessment Design empowers teachers to understand the principles of curriculum-driven assessment and implement them at various levels within their institutions.

Moreover, the book includes ready-to-use training plans and downloadable PowerPoint slides, making it a valuable resource for professional development. With 28 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) offered at an accessible cost, this title not only addresses the evolving nature of formative assessment but also encourages educators to view national changes as a chance to enhance their teaching practices. By embracing these opportunities, teachers and school leaders can contribute to a more effective educational environment for their students.
