SUMMARY:Apprenticeship curriculum design
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’ve been on our curriculum webinar series\, or are new to SDN\, this Masterclass will help you hone your skills as a curriculum developer.\n\nDeveloping a curriculum for apprenticeship standards is challenging. In many cases\, it is less prescribed\, employers have greater input into the content and sequencing\, and the prior learning of the apprentice needs to be taken into account.\n\nIt’s something the ESFA and Ofsted are looking at closely too.\n\nOver a 3.5-hour interactive online session\, Chris Cherry will take you through a step-by-step example of how to deconstruct a standard and build the curriculum from the top down.\n\nDuring the session\, you’ll work on short activities at each stage to develop your understanding and skill and come away with a clear model you can use for the apprenticeship standards you deliver.\n\nHere’s what we’ll cover during the session:\n\n 	The principles of good-quality curriculum design\n 	A practical step-by-step worked example:\n\n\n 	Deconstructing the standard and amplifying the KSBs\n 	Articulating the learning outcomes\, deciding on the learning methods and building in other components\n 	Shaping this into ‘episodes of learning’ as part of a Scheme of Work\n 	Translating the Scheme of Work into an Individual Learning Plan which takes both the apprentice’s prior learning and employer requirements into account\n\n\n 	Practical tips on how to adjust the curriculum and training plan “mid-flight” during the programme\, to meet the needs of the apprentice and employer\n\nAbout your session\n\nThe session will be facilitated by Chris Cherry an SDN expert in apprenticeship on-programme training and end-point assessment. Chris has supported hundreds of apprenticeship organisations to develop their curriculum against the new standards and has lots of insights to share.\n\nThis masterclass is designed for those involved in the design and development of your apprenticeship curriculum and materials.\n\nBefore the session\, you’ll be sent a 1-hr webinar\, giving you an overview of the curriculum planning process for apprenticeship standards.\n\n“Breaking down the KSB’s and how the curriculum forms the ILP was a key learning point. Excellent session and also enjoyed the pre-training recording.”\n\n – Orange Moon Training\n\n“I’ve been trawling the internet and asked FE colleagues about curriculum design and found nothing useful. This is just the ticket. Very engaging\, informative and fun to listen to. I’ve learned more in the first 15 minutes than the previous 15 years.”\n\n“Very informative and helpful”\n\n – Previous event attendees\n\nBooking and payment:\n\nYou can either attend the live session or be sent the recording and materials if you prefer to go through it in your own time but we highly reccommend attending live to get the most out of this interactive session.\n\nIf you have several staff who would benefit\, let us know and we’ll send you details of the most cost-effective way of accessing the session.\n\nIf you’re a public sector body (e.g. Local Authority)\, and unable to book via card\, please email us. When you make a booking\, you agree to these Terms and Conditions (including those who request a booking via email and invoice)\n\nAny questions\, please email us.\n\nSDN CPD is designed for Government funded Training Providers. If you’re not a Government funded Training Provider but are still interested in attending please email events@strategicdevelopmentnetwork.co.uk to discuss your attendance in more detail before booking.

Learn how this strategy is influencing the sector and what it means for those delivering training.\n\n\n\nDiscuss opportunities for training providers to adapt\, evolve\, and expand their services to better meet the changing needs of social care employers and staff. This is a chance to identify where your offer fits and how you can contribute to a more skilled and resilient care workforce.\n\n\n\n\nAbout Skills for Care \n\n\n\nSkills for Care is a trusted sector leader\, funded by the Department of Health and Social Care.
