Long post alert 🚨 We are thrilled to announce that our director, Melanie Moore, has written and published her first book with Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, Curriculum Simplexity. It's been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but Mel has produced something of quality to inspire and guide future teachers.   We would really be grateful if friends of Cornerstones could share this post with their networks. ❤️   About the book 📖 Drawing from her 30+ years of experience as a primary educator, working as a classroom teacher, Deputy Headteacher, and curriculum leader, Mel collected her thoughts, insights, challenges and understanding of curriculum and created a must-have guide for educators.   Curriculum Simplexity offers a practical and systematic planning aid, guiding readers through building a robust, coherent whole-school curriculum.   Divided into a series of easily digestible chapters and filled with templates, worked examples and planning formats, this book unpacks the process of creating a curriculum. Topics explored include, but are not limited to: – 💙 The importance of pedagogy – ⭐ Good subject leadership – 🔗 Building a Curriculum Progression Framework – 🗒 Implementing, delivering and evaluating your curriculum – 📊 Assessment Releasing two weeks today (30th of September) you can pre-order her book here: https://bit.ly/3XuDnXm #primarycurriculum #publishling #practicalguides

It's been an absolute pleasure to get a real insight into the development of this book and to help out Melanie Moore where I could. I found it easy to understand for someone like me, who has never been an active teacher but has worked in education for ten years. Mel is incredibly good at explaining things plainly, which is one of the reasons I like the Cornerstones' curriculum so much. This is definitely a must-have for any ITE University course. #ITECourses #PracticalGuide #CurriculumDesign

In the rush to cover curriculum, it’s easy to overlook the importance of character. Betsy Nay, an 8th-grade teacher, reflects on how The Positivity Project has helped her pause and consider her students' deeper needs. By integrating P2 into the school day, educators are reminded to focus not just on academic achievement but on developing the whole person. Understanding and acting with character is just as important as mastering content, and P2 ensures that these vital lessons aren’t left behind. Shift the focus to what truly matters—character.

Teachers are encouraged to start from the known to the unknown. But even when the known is available navigating through some topics can be a challenge. Younger children may need individual attention and usually one size fits all is not very effective. Even the textbooks cannot help sometimes. One may ask, then how can one give individual attention seeing that there are other children that need your attention as a teacher? If you need to know or just get some ideas get in touch with me. #teaching #effective teaching #teaching children
