Sustainability
UN Goals – Intent, Implementation and Impact
Over the past quarter of a century the Department for Education has asked schools to audit and evaluate a range skills, knowledge and ‘competences’ which are delivered across many areas of the curriculum. This has included ‘hard’ key skills like literacy, numeracy and information technology, ‘soft’ key skills like working with others, problem solving and managing your own performance and a range of other cross curricular skills and dimensions.
Whilst these have largely disappeared from government legislation, they still provide a very useful vehicle for understanding the impact of the whole curriculum in key areas. We currently use this methodology to look at the development of information technology skills through the curriculum, which you can find here. Our other major area of focus is the sustainability of the school, and how our ideas about sustainability are represented in the school curriculum, through the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
