Health and Well-being
Primary Network for Health and Well-being AoLE
Target audience: AoLE leads in primary schools and settings.
‘Curriculum for Wales: The journey to 2022’ sets out consistent expectations for schools and settings for the process of designing and implementing their curricula.
The Curriculum for Wales Implementation plan sets out shared aspirations – which describe what the education system should look like in the long-term, as a result of schools and settings designing and implementing their curricula. Practitioners should have the space to develop and use their teaching, agency and creativity to help realise their ambitions through the curriculum and enabling a space for AoLE leads within primary settings to discuss learning and teaching that enables all learners to realise the aspirations of the four purposes is key.
Only by creating opportunity for practitioners to own the reform process in their schools and settings, for them to feel valued and empowered by that process, and to feel motivated to contribute to its continuing development, can we ensure the long-term success of Curriculum for Wales.
The termly Primary AoLE Leads network will allow opportunity for all to share, discuss and enhance knowledge and understanding of the unique needs of all mandatory AoLEs and the skills to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of each AoLE within their schools. Practitioners will develop pedagogical knowledge that supports the effective delivery of each AoLE, ensuring all learners will make progress.
Attendees will engage with and have a better understanding of each AoLE in order to design their local curriculum.
Attendees will have a deeper understanding of progression within each AoLE
Attendees will develop pedagogical knowledge in order to support effective design and implementation of each AoLE.
Attendees will develop skills and understanding to become reflective AoLE leads in order to monitor and evaluate each AoLE
Attendees will decide content for termly networks and have opportunities to share Curriculum for Wales experiences.
