Collaborative Curriculum Development Through the CDT Support Through Change Project

Abstract

The 'CDT Support Through Change' Project was established in 1986 to recruit and, in co-operation with Higher Education, re-train teachers from a variety of subject backgrounds as CDT teachers.

The two-year retraining course follows an unusual pattern in that the teachers involved spend alternate terms working in schools teaching CDT as 'Support Teachers' who can offer CDT supply cover, and terms in college developing their own CDT skills. (See Figure I). The participating colleges are Crewe and Alsager, De La Salle and Edge Hill.
