Progression in Expressive Arts
Target audience: Any practitioners who have not previously attended any Partneriaeth training on Progression within the AoLEs or Partneriaeth AoLE network meetings.
Progression in learning is a process of developing and improving in skills, knowledge and understanding over time. Each school and setting’s curriculum must be designed to reflect the progression outlined in the mandatory principles of progression and drawing on the mandatory What Matters statements from the AoLEs.
In selecting curriculum content, schools and practitioners must use the principles of progression to inform their approach to progression and these sessions will allow practitioners to unpack the mandatory principles of progression. Sessions will allow practitioners to consider the principles of progression and will further help practitioners to understand how learners should progress with greater sophistication or depth.
Develop an improved understanding of progression within an AoLE.
Consider approaches to planning for progression in curriculum design across the 3-16 continuum.
Develop understanding of the mandatory aspects of the Curriculum for Wales within an AoLE.
