Progression pedagogy - Victorians - Year 2

In a Year 2 classroom, the Victorian era's impact on modern life is explored through a structured learning approach. This pedagogy is designed to help students make connections, absorb information, and retain knowledge effectively. The 'link it, learn it, check it, show it, and know it' system is a core part of this process, guiding students from the initial stages of learning to a point where they can confidently demonstrate their understanding.

At the start of the unit, 'Before the learning,' students are introduced to the topic, setting the stage for curiosity and engagement. 'During the learning,' they delve into how the Victorians have shaped various aspects of contemporary society. This could include discussions on Victorian inventions, architecture, and social reforms that still influence today's world. 'At the end of the learning,' students reflect on their newfound knowledge and assess their understanding. The 'After the learning' phase ensures that students can recall information and apply it to new contexts, reinforcing the progression within the unit. This educational framework, provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, ensures that learning about the Victorians isn't just a journey into the past, but a bridge to understanding the present.
