Knowledge Organiser Strategy 2017-18 Mr St John Associate assistant principal
You have four minutes. Study the A3 sheet about how to use Knowledge Organisers. Be prepared to answer some questions about what you read.
Rationale for Knowledge Organiser trial in Year 9 Summer Term 2017 Marked increase across subjects in the amount of content pupils need to cover and retain in memory. For example English Literature increase of 35%. Develop a whole school Year 7-13 approach to imbedding revision and retention of knowledge. Imbedding this early to avoid the post-easter cram of Year 11 and 13. Make homework more purposeful for the pupils needs and matching the requirements for final assessment only GCSEs. Managing the loss of Controlled assessment. Helping parents by making it clear what their son needs to know. Learn the Knowledge Organisers.
