Todayβs Hums department time was focused around @counsellc.bsky.social 2018 Impact article βTaking curriculum seriouslyβ.
Great to have #TeamHumanities engaging in reading & discussing what we mean by powerful curriculum design #TeamRiver #TeamMET

Since 2022 when I became a subject lead for Humanities I have discovered just how powerful a rigorous, coherent RE curriculum can be and how much it underpins and complements other subjects. Important words from Richard Kueh here.
