Are you a busy teacher, subject lead or senior leader looking to improve your curriculum? Based on the theory of simplexity, the idea that clarity and logic can make even the most complex tasks manageable, Curriculum Simplexity offers a practical and systematic planning aid, guiding readers through the process of building a robust, coherent whole-school curriculum. Recognising the role of teachers’ autonomy and professional judgement, this essential read provides space for the flexibility and creativity needed for teachers to reflect their own values, content, aims and outcomes within the curriculum.
Divided into a series of easily digestible chapters and filled with templates, worked examples and planning formats, this book unpacks the process of creating a curriculum. Topics explored include, but are not limited to:
- The importance of pedagogy
- Good subject leadership
- Building a curriculum progression framework
- Implementing, delivering and evaluating your curriculum
- Assessment
Highly practical and written in an accessible style, teachers are encouraged to reflect on their curriculum planning, development and delivery. This is an essential read for any teacher, subject lead or senior leader who wishes to improve their curriculum and support positive learning outcomes within their school.
