 * WORKSHOP STRATEGIES**:

Julia Atkin and I used this idea at a full day workshop at the recent ULearn conference. We asked participants to draw a map of their school's curriculum journey. This accomplished, they drew a dotted line and briefly mapped the future for curriculum. Many of the maps were wonderful and the discussions that flowed drew out some great issues for group discussions. Another idea - if you had time you could ask people to map their personal curriculum journey from their own schooling on... I used tthe school curriculum idea in shorter workshops later in the conference - of course we didn't get the deeper conversations because of time constraints, but it still worked well.
 * CURRICULUM JOURNEY MAPS**

Examples - to come...

[|School database] The aim is to develop this idea into a regional wiki for schools.... Schools around New Zealand are exploring ways to redesign their school curricula. This existing noticeboard provides a place for schools to post their contact details and a brief outline of the work they are doing. We hope this will enable them to make connections with others (either nearby or at a distance) to extend their professional conversations and to share ideas.
