Editorial Reviews

Design and technology was "invented" as a subject and introduced into the British National Curriculum in 1990. An introduction explores the scope of this subject area, and the guide itself offers d&t coordinators practical ideas for organizing and implementing appropriate programs. The book also covers the various roles of the coordinator, the updating of subject and pedagogical knowledge, and the monitoring of work within the school to enhance the continuity of teaching and student progression.
