Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to help teachers share lesson plans and professional development resources throughout their profession.

Through the Curriculum Fund, the Government is investing £7.7 million over five years to support the development and sharing of high quality complete curriculum programmes. In January, the Department awarded grants to 11 lead schools to share and pilot high quality complete curriculum programmes in over 60 other primary and secondary schools in science, history and geography. The purpose of the pilot is to better understand how curriculum programmes can be effectively implemented in other schools to reduce teacher workload and support better quality teaching. More information on the pilot can be found here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/curriculum-fund-programme-pilot.
