I love the analogy of the restaurant! That makes it so clear to understand!

Thank you for sharing this Mary, such an important point to be considering before next academic year!

True. And the over-reliance on schemes does not help.

I really enjoyed reading your article - particularly your first point about the origin of the resources. I feel it’s so important when we are planning our curriculums to ensure that there is authenticity in our resources as opposed to recycled worksheets.

In our trust we collaborate on booklets across the trust, with the objective being that we are constantly challenging one another to provide the best and most purposeful resources and activities to teach to the top. I recently evaluated our first two years with these booklets from the perspective of a middle leader on my first Substack.
