Package 2 | CINDERELLA | 4-6 weeks
"Just leave it to me, what a gown this will be! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"
This package includes:
1) Curriculum review and alignment mapping
- Review of your current curriculum framework, term plans, learning outcomes, and any scope-and-sequence documents you already use.
- Alignment mapping across 3 layers:
- Intent: what you want children to learn (outcomes, goals)
- Experience: what teachers are actually doing (activities, play invitations, routines)
- Evidence: how learning is noticed and recorded (observations, work samples)
- I identify: gaps, overlaps, unrealistic expectations, unclear progression, and areas where “coverage” is happening without real learning.
- You receive a clear summary of what’s strong and what needs tightening—written in practical language for leaders and teachers.
2) Planning moderation session with teachers
This is a working session, not a lecture. We sit with real plans and answer:
- Are outcomes clear and age-appropriate?
- Are experiences genuinely linked to outcomes (or just themed activities)?
- Is the plan teachable in a busy classroom with real children and real constraints?
- Where are the “hidden load” issues (too many activities, too many materials, too much documentation)?
- What can be simplified without lowering quality?
Teachers leave with a planning approach that feels lighter, clearer, and more purposeful.
3) Classroom-based coaching (pilot support)
I support 1–2 pilot classrooms (or one level) to turn the revised curriculum approach into daily practice. Watch lessons come alive!
Coaching focuses on:
- how to set up learning areas that actually deliver the outcome
- how to respond to children’s play in the moment (language, questioning, extension)
- how to differentiate for mixed ability / EAL / diverse needs
- how to keep the plan alive even when the day changes
Includes feedback that is specific and practical: what to keep, what to stop, what to adjust next week.
4) Assessment calibration session
This is where consistency improves dramatically. We establish:
- what counts as “good evidence” for each learning goal
- how much evidence is enough (so staff don’t over-document)
- how to make assessment manageable and meaningful
- simple moderation routines (so two teachers don’t judge the same evidence differently)
We also tidy up common issues such as “pretty documentation” that doesn’t show learning progression.
5) Implementation roadmap + leader support
A clear roll-out plan that fits your schedule (and your staffing realities).
Includes:
- what changes first (and why)
- how to support staff who feel anxious or resistant
- a simple monitoring rhythm for leaders (short walk-through prompts, coaching questions, follow-up checks)
- a plan for onboarding new staff so the curriculum doesn’t “reset” each time someone joins
Optional Add-On: a brief leader check-in after two weeks to review progress and refine.
Pause Reflect
- Do you ever wonder whether your curriculum is truly strong—or just looks good on paper?
- Are teachers spending ages planning, yet still feeling unsure what children are actually learning?
- Do different classrooms seem to be teaching the same things in different ways, with uneven quality and progression?
- Is documentation piling up, but evidence of learning still feels unclear or inconsistent?
If any of these sound familiar, book the Cinderella Package—and let’s wave the magic wand together. We’ll tidy up what’s messy, keep what’s working, and help your curriculum step into the spotlight so learning truly comes alive.
