This is the first of a 3-volume series on School & College Curriculum Design from the best-selling author of The Working Classroom and The Stories We Tell.

Book One is about 'curriculum intent' - all the planning that happens before teaching happens. As such it explores the 'why?' and 'what?' of education.

It articulates a six-step process of curriculum design:

1. Agree the vision.
2. Set the destination.
3. Assess the starting points.
4. Identify the waypoints.
5. Define excellence.
6. Diminish disadvantage.
