Reimagining D&T, See our actions to date and our proposals moving forward to ensure the survival of Design and Technology in schools via this PowerPoint. Design and technology in schools is in a state of national neglect. In 2003 we had 430,000 GCSE entries and over 20,000 at A Level. Now 78,000 and just over 10,000. In 2009 we had 14,800 trained and qualified teachers, this number is now estimated at 6,500. The subject has lacked leadership and direction. Meanwhile, design alone contributed £97 Billion to GDP last year....

From ironing boards to classroom innovation: celebrating Sarah Boone this Black History Month, This Black History Month, we turn our attention to Sarah Boone, a trailblazing inventor whose insight still resonates in design & technology classrooms today. In 1892, Boone was granted US Patent for an improved ironing board. She recognised that the existing bulky, flat boards were ill suited to pressing sleeves and fitted garments. Her design featured a narrow, curved board that corresponded to the inside and outside seams of sleeves, plus a movable support to flip the board for pressing both sides. ...

Big Bangs and damp squibs, Design and technology has been in the news a lot over the last couple of days - or should I say, design and technology should have been in the news a lot! First was the CBI report, 'Engineering our future,' which talks about the urgent need to address the shortage of engineering skills. In relation to schools it talks about the need for children to study 3 sciences and expanding the UTC programme. No mention of the role of D&T or Computing, even though the CBI supported our campaign to reject...
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...
