NEW!! 2/4. The second one-pager in the series is on GTT Dimension 1, Element 2 – Curriculum Sequencing. It focuses on designing a sequenced and coherent curriculum so that students develop secure knowledge, build fluency over time, and can transfer their learning in different contexts. The essential ingredients of curriculum design are: ✅ Sequencing – identify the essential concepts, knowledge and skills of each subject. ✅ Knowledge – build on prior knowledge by linking new content to what students already know. ✅ Retention – strengthen long-term memory over time. ✅ Fluency – ensure that knowledge becomes automatic and secure. ✅ Expertise – develop secure subject and curriculum knowledge. ✅ Transfer – help students apply knowledge in new contexts. This one-pager draws on wider evidence-informed thinking on a knowledge-rich curriculum, including the Curriculum and Assessment Review Final Report (2025), and on Shulman’s work on pedagogical content knowledge.
