With increasing and renewed emphasis on the curriculum across Britain there is a need to ensure that schools and colleges are focused, supported and equipped to develop their curriculum in a way that is meaningful. The BCF aims to bring together all those with an interest in collaborative curriculum, research and development. This day, is the first in a new format which is designed to bring together practitioners (ideally a research lead / curriculum lead from each participating school/college) who are engaged in curriculum development in a way that recognises the value of research informed approaches. Such approaches might include drawing on ideas and concepts already established in research as well as approaches which are driven by reflective inquiry by teachers to (re)shape the curriculum. The day is designed to support teachers actively exploring and seeking to develop their own institutional curriculum. It is also aimed at creating a context in which curriculum development can be meaningfully developed, reviewed, shared, and discussed. The day will include:
