Where are we going with this?
The Approaches to Learning Skills Framework provides a common language that connects teaching and learning to the objectives and aims of our subjects and the student-centered approach of our programme models.
Through identifying our disciplinary core ATL skills and mapping these as a school, we can plan ATL's with focus and effectiveness. This will help with curriculum articulation, unit planning, transitions across the continuum, resourcing and learning experiences.
