Who is The Big Landscape toolkit for?

It's for trainees, primary teachers, art and design teachers, heads of departments, or anyone leading training in schools, across all phases and sectors.

 

What will it do?

The Big Landscape will...

  • help build a better understanding of the content, dimensions, scope, and wider aspects of your curriculum.
  • remind us of the importance of determining the values and the ethos we set for learning in our subject.
  • select the relevant knowledge, content and processes to develop the most suitable skills, habits, behaviours and attributes in our learners.
  • empower art educators to choose and use the knowledge of their lived experiences in preference to ‘off-the-shelf’ curriculum models.
