Its 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @ICTmagic Your reaction to the draft National Curriculum for England. Thought Id begin by looking at the outgoing curriculum. Does it need replacing? #ukedchat What parts of the outgoing curriculum would you like to keep in the new curriculum? #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist Or http://t.co/ao2vSkbBEc also works great on all devices. Also via @chilledteaching #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: #ukedchat will be starting in just a few minutes. If you are joining us unprotect your tweets and use the #ukedchat hashtag.

ditching levels. When used well resulted in good progress & scaffolding If for no other reason, the current NC is over 10 years old for primary; it's due a review, certainly - but one that involves us! #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: Tonight #ukedchat will be discussing 'Your reaction to the draft National Curriculum'.

RT @lizzie_h18: @ICTmagic id definitely keep speaking and listening as a strand in the english programmes of study #ukedchat Think most people said goodbye to QCA schemes of work some time ago, didn't they? New Science plans just reincarnate them! #ukedchat @MisterGBrown @ictmagic #ukedchat can we afford NOT to keep up? We are preparing children for a future we can't even imagine! @MisterGBrown @ictmagic agree... Programming and the demands of the ICT curriculum seem out of date. #ukedchat @ukedchat I'm a network manager and pretty bored of overhearing PowerPoint being taught. The kids just look dazed. #ukedchat Feel that the last government missed a great opportunity by not implementing Rose and/or Cambridge Review? #ukedchat RT @ICTmagic: Thought Id begin by looking at the outgoing curriculum. Does it need replacing? #ukedchat I like the draft curriculum. There I said it #ukedchat

@ICTmagic id also keep the skills and values sections #ukedchat #ukedchat history NC is unmanageable, esp at KS2. I'm passionate about hist, but don't think I can do justice to so big a range. @WithoutMotive It should be a disciplinary matter ;-) #ukedchat #ukedchat loving focus on whole texts & challenge for all in English. RT @ukedchat: Feel that the last government missed a great opportunity by not implementing Rose and/or Cambridge Review? #ukedchat @ChrisRaynerd @MisterGBrown True. But is it necessary in other areas? English is pretty muh the same English it was 15 years ago. #ukedchat RT @DebbieHolley1: #Ukedchat read about what happened when Michael Gove visited a school in 2009 before he took office - debatehttp://wp ... @Teachric Why? How does it tick your boxes? #ukedchat @Teachric why? What about it appeals to you? #ukedchat @ukedchat If it was, there would be no ICT department as they'd be in permanent detention. #ukedchat @Teachric sort of with u there but need to know how we're assessing! #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: Feel that the last government missed a great opportunity by not implementing Rose and/or Cambridge Review? #ukedchat @primary_science Why is it unmanageable? #ukedchat @dandesignthink: (work in progress) what makes a great lesson? teacher, student and environment #ukedchat #education http://t.co/MHvxZk3Pcp @Teachric Can you give us all your wisdom on how to teach 1700 years of History in KS2 then? ;) #ukedchat #ukedchat do we actually need a NC -surely if a school is judged to be good or outstanding they could plan there own? @philallman1 Indeed, a lot of maths is down to language and understanding. #ukedchat RT @Teachric: I like the draft curriculum. There I said it #ukedchat

@HelenCaldwel computing stuff looks good. Thanks #ukedchat #UKedchat I'll sum up my views on the Science NC draft - dull & setting it back 50 years, all interesting & new stuff is kicked out! @fod3 @lizzie_h18 I agree. why do you think there is this gap at KS1&2? #ukedchat @WithoutMotive Very true, and a poor reflection on the "profession"! #ukedchat @ukedchat @WithoutMotive wish people would quit slamming #PowerPoint just a tool. One that's good for #infographics & #animation #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: Feel that the last government missed a great opportunity by not implementing Rose and/or Cambridge Review? #ukedchat @Laura_Suths #ukedchat Definitely. I love this too. The breadth of study implicitly suggests the need for a three year KS4 curriculum. @ICTmagic @chrisraynerd @mistergbrown potentially bringing back good. New focus on spoken language. Not sure about that... #ukedchat I don't think it's all bad; it's just that the bad bits are so awful they outweigh the positives by far! #ukedchat @ICTmagic Agree old ICT curriculum very dated. #ukedchat My thoughts on the The New History Curriculum Part 1 http://t.co/cfCOZJj7ZR #ukedchat @primary_science It is all a bit daunting! #ukedchat @primary_science There is a lot to fit in but it is also very narrow minded when you look at the world today #ukedchat @michaelt1979 The positives being...? #ukedchat @ICTmagic @primary_science too much (banal) content too little time #ukedchat @eslweb @ukedchat I wouldn't say I was slamming PowerPoint. As @ezzy_moon pointed out, maybe it's how it's taught. #ukedchat @fod3 yes it's going to make better Y7&8 teachers out of us I think with much more productive Y9 #ukedchat RT @deepexperience1: #UKedchat I'll sum up my views on the Science NC draft - dull & setting it back 50

Are they any improvements in the new draft NC over the previous incarnation? #ukedchat #ukedchat You cannot care about school history and support draft curriculum for history. There's a lot of be said for the actual slimming down of Art, Music, etc. Shame the same wasn't done with History/Geography, etc. #ukedchat @PhilPfromSC @ukedchat A few have gone down the #Prezi route for their own presentations but haven't brought it into the classroom #ukedchat RT @ICTmagic: Being positive... Are they any improvements in the new draft NC over the previous incarnation? #ukedchat Regarding the new curriculum, here's a chance to have your say on the KS1/2 Computing Curriculum http://t.co/sMEJ2Qe3CW #ukedchat @primary_science Pupil mummification. Might not go down too well! #ukedchat #ukedchat summary of Rose here http://t.co/jDW409uC4S As with any curriculum, it's how it is interpreted and facilitated that's key, not the curric itself.

Less paper to throw away when its scrapped ;-) #landfillsfullofNCdocuments #ukedchat #ukedchat cambridge review summary here http://t.co/EogBiUt8d7 @ICTmagic #ukedchat a real focus on reading and reading whole texts. #ukedchat their needs to be more of a balance especially as ks2 will rightly focus on English and maths @fod3 @lizzie_h18 So you think Sp&L is seen as a means to an end in the new NC? #ukedchat RT @tmeeky: As with any curriculum, it's how it is interpreted and facilitated that's key, not the curric itself.

RT @jj__loves__jj: #ukedchat You cannot care about school history and support draft curriculum for history. There is no need to implement anyway. Just convert to a free school or academy, then you can do your own thing! Hidden agenda? #ukedchat @thought_weavers #ukedchat My experience is that most schools now have a good creative curriculum in place. Too many changes in recent years Worth a 2nd tweet: RT @carlgomb: #Elearning seems a weirder & weirder term. Like Car-Driving or FoodEating #Edchat #ipaded #ukedchat If we stop primary history at the Stuart's there will be a hell of a lot of resources lying around in primary classrooms #ukedchat @ukedchat Agree! New stuff looks tricky, but I like a challenge. #ukedchat @tmeeky #ukedchat very frustrating that facts are so high priority. Why not just teach pupils to use google and teach themselves @lizzie_h18 They are at school. Should they not be taught full time? @fod3 #ukedchat Yes, agree with fod3 that the focus on whole texts is a joy! Actually, much positive about Reading elements. #ukedchat #ukedchat Design Technology curriculum at best completely inappropriate...? How can we as a developed nation not consider future generations @primary_science I think a permission slip is in order! #ukedchat #ukedchat my concern as a teacher is what is the burden of change especially for primary colleagues without support/ CPD @ICTmagic @lizzie_h18 to support other learning before becoming discreet in KS3. #ukedchat Yes, agree with @fod3 that the focus on whole texts is a joy! Actually, much positive about Reading elements. #ukedchat @eslweb Many thanks. Never seen the PPT Prezi or heard of TimeToast. #ukedchat #history isn't my subject, but liked starting with family history, then town (local) history, then national and finally inter. #ukedchat

@ukedchat no, the old KS1/2 ICT stood the test of time, & allowed you to do almost anything.

http://t.co/sQ3JHMFVB8 My historian wife used to focus on facts but is now more skills focused is that same for others? #ukedchat #ukedchat How often does the average teacher actually refer to the NC document. Ideas of teachers not government is the way forward! @GuardianTeach of course. Today i taught a lesson on theft,based on an episode of #thesimpsons pupils were THINKING throughout #ukedchat Do we think the 2014 introduction is adequate time for schools to change & staff to acquire new skills? #ukedchat RT @aknill: #ukedchat my concern as a teacher is what is the burden of change especially for primary colleagues without support/ CPD @mberry But it didn't allow for advancements in technology, although I take your point. #ukedchat #ukedchat the geography proposals are a framework we can work with. history is overly prescriptive. ICT at KS3 needs a different skill set. RT @thought_weavers: @Animate2Educate #ukedchat totally agree, hence a new nc not required - focus should be on pedagogy not content RT @ukedchat: Feel that the last government missed a great opportunity by not implementing Rose and/or Cambridge Review? #ukedchat @ICTmagic the massive amount of content makes it unmanageable #ukedchat #ukedchat if we must be sequential with history how about in reverse, youngest children dealing with most recent history? RT @thought_weavers: @Animate2Educate #ukedchat totally agree, hence a new nc not required - focus should be on pedagogy not content @Teachric And OfSTED! #ukedchat RT @ICTmagic: Do we think the 2014 introduction is adequate time for schools to change & staff to acquire new skills? #ukedchat #ukedchat what are the implications for schools working together when as academies we're encouraged to work alone? @ICTmagic absolutely not and herein lies the rub Martin

I think there is always room to interpret in ways best for own cohort... be a bit braver #UkEdChat RT @thought_weavers: @Animate2Educate #ukedchat totally agree, hence a new nc not required - focus should be on pedagogy not content Just noticed Evolution at KS2 replacing Microorganisms by the looks of things. Not much scope for AT1 #ukedchat #ukedchat What about the new resources schools must invest in? Plus the piles of obsolete ones. Any extra funds Mr Gove? #ukedchat @aknill totally agree. Just confuses and stresses staff, especially those new to profession. Will see more teachers quit. #ukedchat The main issue for me is that many many teachers (including me) are going to need masses of CPD to cope with the new curriculum #ukedchat @lizzie_h18 @ICTmagic and research has proven the impact of speaking on written work. #ukedchat RT @Teachric: The beauty of the new curriculum is that it leave a lot for subject leaders to interpret #ukedchat #ukedchat who is going to support and train staff to meet new requirements and once agreed as an NC how much time will be left? Have you got a teaching interview coming up? Here's the BEST two simple tips you could possibly wish for... http://t.co/MlSOpVAEeN #ukedchat @fod3 totally doable with active Shakespeare methods. Get reacquainted with good old Rex Gibson & just enjoy the results #ukedchat @ukedchat I was glad to see all subjects have been retained, especially citizenship. #ukedchat #ukedchat ks1&2 subjects like art and music still leave us plenty of scope to be creative and ensure relevance to individual schools. Good! What do we think about the change in NC Levels? How will you track progress? #ukedchat @ukedchat no, I think they'd been quite careful to ensure that it would. The only really dated bit, IMHO, was email in KS3. #ukedchat @WithoutMotive @ChrisRaynerd @ukedchat @ezzy_moon Yes and my worry is that before it was

I'm hopeful that we've got so used to this that we'll do the same with the new one. #ukedchat @ukedchat @ukedchat ...

No creativity #ukedchat #ukedchat I wold like to be able to do more cross phase shared work and training but can schools afford to give this time? Not nationally !! @Laura_Suths I agree. Regardless of the wording of the document, opportunities for good S+L will continually arise #ukedchat @fod3 Interesting. How do you report to parents and submit data to LEA? #ukedchat How can it be a National Curriculum anyway if academies don't have to teach it? #ukedchat The new thing that is exciting about the new curriculum its more flexible.

explore, enhance, excite! @SheliBB @ukedchat Great tool. : ) #ukedchat @Gwenelope @aknill @Animate2Educate - ANYONE can reply to the consultation. You don't need a personal invite! #ukedchat @mberry Indeed... and it pains me when people, especially educators, forget that! @thought_weavers @KempsterD #ukedchat @Gwenelope @aknill @Animate2Educate Only now when it's all but done and dusted. All the more reason for us to respond clearly! #ukedchat #ukedchat I have found that results improve when u follow the principles of the excellence & enjoyment document. Remember that one? Tweet Blog:Academies Think in 5 Tweets http://t.co/AQMYMYbDSL #storify #ukedchat @Gwenelope @aknill @Animate2Educate #ukedchat It will be essential for schools to devote time in the next half term for all to respond. @jackieschneider exam grade, That is what they are judged on and sometimes creativity takes time haven't got. Sad but not true? #ukedchat RT @mrlockyer #ukedchat Would rec you read "Why do you nd teachers.." By @ThatIanGilbert - skills ovr knwldge evry time. NC is a fact silo! RT @jackieschneider: ANYONE can reply to the consultation. You dont need a personal invite! #ukedchat @MrHTabc123 Quite. Entitlement is reduced to core knowledge. If you want more, find a good school or hope for a good teacher. #ukedchat @KempsterD Think what was spent on the process! Get the individuals contributing tonight together & we'd have done a better job. #ukedchat @SaveOur_History I'm still training and personally I'm gutted, I maybe be bias but WWII in particular is a great primary topic! #ukedchat What should we ask for in the consultation? Modifications or start again? What can we realistically achieve? #ukedchat Just 5 minutes of #ukedchat remain. Final thoughts?

Perhaps we shouldn't worry then??? @mberry @jackieschneider We've been driven that way and certainly those new to profession have fear of god in them! #ukedchat Horizontal or vertical? #ukedchat RT @mrlockyer: #ukedchat One problem with the NC is that publishers write largely to it, rather than using it as a springboard for more ... @ukedchat if you have any thoughts and views strongly consider adding them to the consultation #ukedchat @SaveOur_History these are probably the three topics which interest and engage chn the most. Why are we getting rid?! #ukedchat @crispinweston so why not require it of /all/ schools? @ianaddison #ukedchat #ukedchat like idea of schools creating own curriculumwould be impossible 2 examin & therefore no chance of any standardised qualification #ukedchat have invited my mp in 2 see the good work of a dedicated band of teachers and to discuss problems

with the draft nc @michaelt1979 @aknill @Animate2Educate Oh that word, 'consultation' makes me wince. #ukedchat #ukedchat I've been drafting a marking & feedback policy. I'm pleased with it :) @thought_weavers It will take the next government a long time to change. Look at the previous government! #ukedchat @ChrisRaynerd @jackieschneider We all need to get up and leave the classroom then if this is what it has come to #nohope #ukedchat @thought_weavers - don't rely on the pathetic Twigg to change ANYTHING - just as Tory as Gove #ukedchat RT @thought_weavers: #ukedchat if implemented the nc may only last around 9 months if there is change of government! Perhaps we shouldn' ... #ukedchat Here's my initial draft of response to NC consultation: https://t.co/pPAPAc9LYf <- comments welcome! @thought_weavers #ukedchat exactly why there should be an independent body who run education!!!!! X #ukedchat does anyone else think the new curriculum is another nudge toward becoming an academy? Over 90% of schools teach 'Of Mice and Men'. Gove not keen on the narrowness of this. Will we see it culled completely? #ukedchat #ukedchat don't miss tickets for next week's Future Learning conf - see speakers and book tickets here http://t.co/EKkEpBpeoU #education 2 minutes... Name one thing that you would like to 'pencil in' to the new NC which isn't there in the draft. #ukedchat @Animate2Educate But when my trainees talk about aims and vision, they have such nobility of purpose. @jackieschneider #ukedchat @KempsterD @ChrisRaynerd - no we need to OCCUPY the classroom and show the parents why they should trust US & not toxic tories! #ukedchat @Lynnewin100 yes I do #ukedchat @Gwenelope @michaelt1979 @aknill @animate2educate #ukedchat I think 'token' consultation!
