This introduction session is an
overview about change in D&T
using a new curriculum
initiative.
It’s about developing sustainable
D&T Curriculum Development
projects
Have you seen this logo?
You are at the forefront
New National initiative
It’s about our subject
in the 21st Century
The marriage of three projects
to form one new initiative…..
……about giving ownership of learning to our students

So that’s where our 6
Lincolnshire schools fit’s into
the picture…..
Part of DATA’s bid to DCSF was about
making curriculum projects sustainable
if staff members leave the school.
Hence teams of 3 staff from different
D&T backgrounds from each school (in
which the technician is a key player).
The outcomes
Project called “Be Seen and Stay Safe !!!!!!!
Back to each school work as a team and
conceptually develop a potential project.
Back on 27th May to work with decide how we can
best support the CAD/CAM element.
Trial the outcome with (maybe) one student.
Take lots of photographs at every stage.
We’ll provide each school with details of a WIKI to
send work to us.
Get together on 30th June to share our
development
We’ll develop a website of your outcomes.
Lets get our students engaged in exciting D&T
that is relevant to the 21st C

OfSTED report
“Education for a technologically advanced nation D&T in schools 2004-07” OfSTED June 2008
“Design and technology has to be an essential part of
every pupil’s learning experience. The subject
encourages creativity and contributes to the personal
development of students of all ages. More needs to be
done to ensure that all schools are equally well
equipped with the facilities, equipment and specialist
teachers required to keep pace with the advancements
in our ever changing, hi-tech world.”
OfSTED report
Key findings
Design and technology was popular and contributed well to
learners’ personal development. Learners were motivated,
especially when they had opportunities to develop and realise their
ideas. They behaved well, understood the subject’s relevance and
learnt to use complex and expensive equipment effectively.
Advanced technologies such as computer-aided designing and
computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), when used effectively,
motivated learners and raised their productivity. However, the gap
was growing between schools which used such technology well and
those which did not; the latter lacked equipment and the necessary
expertise.
Many teachers did not keep sufficiently up to date because of a
lack of in-service training. This restricted the development of
teaching and learners’ technological capability.
OfSTED report
Recommendations
DCSF
consider how, in the long term, science, technology, engineering and
mathematics research and development might be used to create modern
design and technology projects, with mathematical and scientific content,
to enable schools to keep pace with technological advances
QCA
ensure that GCSE course specifications are effective in promoting creativity
and technological rigour in coursework
provide guidance on applying rigorous technological, mathematical and
scientific knowledge in designing and making projects
TDA
provide training opportunities for primary and secondary teachers to
update and maintain their subject and teaching skills …
Secondary schools
provide adequate resources for CAD/CAM and ensure that at least one
teacher is trained to teach it throughout the age range
……….today
Well start by all making he same
project (electronics part) and program
the PIC in it using New Wave
Concepts “Genie”.
I’ll then suggest some ways forward
1. look at producing surface mount PCB’s
2. Look at producing flexible PCBs
Mike will join us and discuss CAD/CAM
Teacher Perceptions
It’s a dirty, messy subject
Its only for bright boys
Its too hard to teach – ‘I can teach
anything
The projects are really boring!
except Systems’
The direction I would like our
students to go ………
Creativity:
comes from the heart
Any questions…….
