Progression in Health and Well-being

'…progression must be embedded in learning and teaching and should form the basis of thinking in schools when designing and planning the school curriculum.'

Curriculum for Wales

Curriculum for Wales places the learner at the heart of curriculum design. This quote from the guidance emphasises the importance of understanding how learners progress and how this understanding will provide the starting point as schools design a curriculum for their learners. In order to support learners to progress along the learning continuum, practitioners need to develop a shared understanding of progression.

This workshop will address the four questions below, which come directly from the 'Supporting learner progression' guidance and which have been set by Welsh Government to guide you as you design your school curriculum:

  • What is progression?

  • What is a shared understanding of progression?

  • Why is a shared understanding of progression important?

  • How should schools and settings develop this shared understanding?

Curriculum for Wales requires an understanding of progression in learning before moving on to discussions on how the learning will be assessed.
