Here is a scheme of learning for a Design and Technology unit that aligns with the principles of the Curriculum for Wales. This Scheme of Learning (SOL) has been carefully crafted to be accessible for delivery by a non-specialist teacher in a general-purpose classroom over the course of a term. It provides a clear outline of the learning objectives, detailing the rationale behind the selected activities. Additionally, the scheme integrates essential skills, encourages critical thinking, and addresses common misconceptions. It includes prerequisite knowledge, comprehensive assessment rubrics, lesson overviews, and a curated list of key vocabulary to support both teaching and learning throughout the unit.
