You can run, but you can't hide!

Abstract

As government attention turns to Key Stage 3, every teacher will be asking: 'Why should I become involved?' Design and technology has come a long way since the start of the National Curriculum and we have both a lot to learn and a lot to offer the Key Stage 3 thinking. We have been prevented from improving some key areas in our departments due to lack of funding for training and time. Used constructively, the Key Stage 3 strategy provides a well-timed vehicle for us to move our teaching and learning forward.
