Delivering skills, often lacking, to the next generation of D&T teachers, D&TA providing specialist training for SCITT trainees at Pioneers Partnership SCITT For 30 years I have taught in or led Design and Technology departments, and in the last few years, I have seen a real need for additional support and training for D&T teachers. Where possible, I have tried to provide support, resources, or training to help them, but this was often limited by my full-time teaching commitments. Earlier this year I decided it was time to leave the classroom and...
Yes we’re good at designing and make stuff, but can you write about it?, I certainly don’t consider myself to be good at writing but the other day I was embarrassed to be complimented on something I’d produced. I responded by saying that’s it’s less than one’s ability to write and more one’s ability to read and reflect on the writings of others that is important. For that is essential to inform the thinking that underpins what you in turn write yourself. Without doing the former, one is less likely to produce anything of much worth at all...
Building Services Engineering, These resources have been developed with the support of CIBSE Patrons at the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, to to help students understand roles and career paths into the industry. They include video case studies of five engineers with different roles, an introductory video, background information, and a series of PowerPoint based challenges for late Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 pupils in which they develop solutions in related areas. In these the five engineers are presented as cartoon characters, each offering a challenge to: • turn a playing field shelter into a solar...

Is MDF safe to use in school workshops? , Much media attention has been drawn towards MDF and the hazards associated with its use in schools, although there is no evidence that calls for it to be removed entirely from use in schools, it’s use does raise serious concerns. Hardwood dust is classified in COSHH as carcinogenic, and softwood is now a suspect carcinogen, although not defined as such in COSHH. Thus under risk assessment procedures substitution by natural wood may not eliminate the problem. Serious concern has been raised over the dust created when...
