Maximising children’s progress in KS1 and KS2, If we want children to make great progress in D&T we need to be clear about what progression in the subject actually means and put the necessary building blocks in place to support children’s learning as they move through the school. What does progression in D&T look like? Children make progress in D&T as they develop an increasing capability to design and make good quality products with a range of materials, for a variety of users and purposes. The...
Why and how to use e-portfolios in D&T, This course aims to help D&T teachers implement e-portfolios into their classes from year 7 to 13. By showing you the benefits of such an approach and helping you to begin to produce your own through the course and gain confidence and understanding.Objectives: • To develop teachers' understanding of the use of e-portfolios to support teaching and learning, for example in preparation for tackling the Design and Technology GCSE non-examined assessment.• To develop teachers' technical skills and...

Timetabling D&T , Andy Mitchell explores the importance of good timetabling for design and technology Importance and context Recent posts in social media have included requests made by Subject Leaders, asking for examples of timetabling models used in colleagues’ schools. It takes me back to when I engaged in the annual process of timetabling D&T in a large comprehensive school at which I worked. Obviously no two schools are the same and there are many variables to consider, such as number/type of specialist...
Craft Apprentice, George , Watch Georges video here George is a third-year apprentice from the Manufacturing Technology Centre, where he is studying Metrology which is the science of measurement. He is learning different aspects of mechanical engineering, particularly in machining, and enjoys the range of new things that this brings. He’d like to specialise in the inspection of parts, ensuring they meet standards and finds new developments such as 3D printing particularly interesting. Play video.
Training and Events, Why are events important to our members? The D&T Association runs a regular schedule of varied events throughout the academic year. These events can be refresher courses in your chosen field, or can be used as a means to build on your existing knowledge by Continued Professional Development (CPD). Our members and non-member delegates always benefit from the CPD experience gained at events. They’re also a great chance to meet fellow D&T professionals in a non-work environment and discuss new developments, trends, ideas, and compliance issues. They’re also an...
