Hi All

Here comes our engineering CLPL.  This session has been created using Microsoft Sway instead of our usual medium of video.  The session is split into 3 sections: Whats is Engineering?; Engineering Skills; Resources for Teaching Engineering.  The aim of these sessions is to demonstrate where engineering already appears in your lessons right across the curriculum.  Also to highlight where engineering skills are being created in the curriculum.  This is in a bid not to add to workload but instead offer opportunities to capitalise on opportunities to mention and recognise engineering as part of what is already going on.

First off what is engineering and what does it look like in our curriculum?  If you click on the full screen option (four arrows pointing outwards) then you can navigate through the sway.  You can click on images to enlarge them.

The next sway is on recognising engineering skills in our curriculum.  As you will see you will already be teaching these skills.  Perhaps as the lesson practitioner being able to relate the skills to engineering might help pupils to relate to what engineering might look like as a career and that it could be something they would be good at.

The final presentation contains links to resources to support the teaching of engineering and engineering skills.  This will remain as a live document and we will continue to update it with new opportunities as we find them.

We hope you have found these presentations helpful.  If you need any further support with these topics please get in contact.
