During an interview, you may be asked to complete an in tray of this nature, but you may also be asked to explain your thoughts and theories on curriculum intention and implementation - so this practice model/task is a great way to think about the changes you’d make to a curriculum you have never seen Please make sure you follow me on facebook: facebook.com/teachcoach
