Lots of great resources. We particularly love the art and DT lessons- they show clear progress and building of skills within each unit. The RE units have really useful info and avoid teachers having to do extensive research. We still have some trouble navigating the system- the website is very 'busy'. Some history and geog units are very reading heavy so we extract the texts and use those for whole class reading lessons. Would appreciate some more creative activity ideas for humanities subjects- seems to be a lot of read/research and fill in the sheet.
Maz Whittaker found Curriculum Maestro:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“We no longer have to spend ages sourcing good quality resources such as texts and videos”
- Slightly provides school data“haven't used this function yet”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“THe sequence of lessons is clear so there's less 'faffing'”
- Slightly improves attainment“Don't know yet”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“Knowledge organisers are great. The key information they need to know for each topic is very clear.”
