Health and Safety, Teaching Design and Technology presents both a challenging and an exciting experience, yet where teachers work needs to be a safe and secure environment. Best practice comes from staff who are knowledgeable about relevant aspects of Health and Safety and who, as a result, feel confident in managing and maintaining a healthy and safe workplace. Well-qualified staff are empowered to identify hazards and assess risks, and can quickly determine how best to minimise, remove, or control such risks within an educational environment. Are you working to the British Standard Code of Practice? ...
Rebecca Topps at Bulletproof Design, The night before, the nerves are kicking in along with the realisation that I had not stepped into the design world for over twelve years. Bulletproof is a design agency who help brands grow through powerful sensory brand worlds, intelligent branding and guardianship, inspiring packaging design and more. They have worked with brands all over the world and have offices in four countries. Would they expect me to be amazing at Photoshop? Or be able to sketch twenty different ideas in minutes? All these thoughts raced through my mind! I hit the tube, armed with...
Wouldn't it be nice if..., With a new KS1-3 curriculum in place for September we know that the next challenge appearing over the horizon will be the review of GCSE qualifications. Ofqual have been tasked to do this and it is already underway for some subjects. But the review of D&T GCSEs is imminent and now is the time to do some creative thinking. What proposals and recommendations can we take to the Ofqual table when we get the invitation? What do we want the revised GCSEs for D&T to look like? This started me thinking about D&T...
What’s new... and how to deal with it, Most of us are now aware of the changes to design and technology resulting from the National Curriculum review in England, but just how well are we doing in terms of preparing for implementing these changes by September? As teachers begin to explore the new programmes of study (PoS), we have received a number of calls and emails at the Association from teachers with responsibility for leading D&T and developing their schemes of work. Quite understandably some are expressing concern and requesting help. In the first instance they need help ‘unpacking’ what...

Why has the number of teenagers taking design and technology GCSE dropped?, For some time now, the Association has been expressing concern over the inability of the subject to move forward in response to changes in National Curriculum - and I'm not simply referring to the most recent iteration, and developments in technologies, materials, processes and pedagogy. It has also warned, that in situations where this is not happening, then the very certainty of its continuation is at question. We are now regularly receiving reports of schools either considerably cutting back on provision, or in the worst cases...
Sustainability Series - Ceramegg: turning eggshells into sustainable tableware, Created by Oliwia Ostaszewska, BA Product Design Student at the University of Lincoln, Ceramegg began as a personal observation of household egg consumption. What started at home quickly developed into a deeper investigation into the environmental impact of eggshell waste on an industrial scale. This realisation became the starting point for Ceramegg, a project that transforms calcium-rich waste into biodegradable material that is both functional and beautiful. Understanding the problem: eggshell waste Eggshells may seem small, but the scale of waste from the food industry is...
