This conversation is an opportunity to discuss what’s working well, what the
barriers are to developing curriculum design approaches which recognise
progression in your curriculum, and importantly, what has contributed to
success and how barriers have been or may be overcome.
•
The outcomes and conclusions of this conversation will be fed directly back to
Welsh Government and regional consortia and partnerships and we will work
with them to develop approaches and solutions. They will also help to shape
the ‘Camau i’r Dyfodol’ and ‘Assessing for the Future’ projects.

learner progress? How will the
curriculum opportunities
support coherent progression in
learning?
What range of learner

rich tasks will support learners
to demonstrate their

reflect on this progress and
support their next steps in
learning?
What learning experiences will
best support learners to
develop the desired

Learning with Purpose: a template to support curriculum and assessment design Designing high-quality assessment opportunities Planning for Learning with Purpose Using the Principles of Progression Establishing the purpose How will you sequence the teaching and learning experiences to ensure learners make progress? How will the planned knowledge, skills and experiences support ongoing learner progress? How will the curriculum opportunities support coherent progression in learning? How will you know that learners have understood the desired learning purpose? How will learners demonstrate this progress? What criteria will you use to judge this progress? How will learners understand the desired objectives? What is the purpose of this learning? How will this learning support meaningful development towards the four purposes? How have I established the needs of my learners to plan effectively for their progression? From this learning, what knowledge and understandings is are essential for learners to develop breadth and depth in their understanding? What will learners know as a result of this learning? Will this knowledge support their progression towards the four purposes? It is helpful to be mindful of the following questions: How will this learning support development as reflected in the principles of progression? How will learners develop their overall effectiveness? How will learners develop towards disciplinary progression?
