Knowledge-rich essay collection

This is a free PDF offering a series of essays on the theme of a knowledge-rich curriculum.

The value of a knowledge-rich curriculum: An essay collection is a multi-author anthology bringing together a wide range of professionals from teaching, education leadership, policy and academia to discuss the aims, impact and potential of a knowledge-rich curriculum approach in schools.

With the goal of engaging school leaders, policymakers, teachers and parents/carers alike, the collection presents contributions ranging from subject-specific accounts of knowledge-rich excellence to discussion of the role that a knowledge-rich curriculum can play in tackling socio-economic disadvantage – alongside seeking to address criticism of a knowledge-rich approach.

I liked this diagram from Christine Counsell's essay which closes the collection, which looks at the use of narratives based around a key question for a unit of lessons.
