Knowledge Organisers
Purpose
Knowledge organisers are documents that contain the core knowledge for teaching a component. Well-written knowledge organisers engage parents with curriculum content, and allow every child, regardless of their socio-economic status, attendance or previous education, to access the core knowledge they need to be successful.
Knowledge organisers have three purposes:
1. Planning tool: Set out all of the core knowledge that children must learn to understand to access the component and address common misconceptions.
2. Assessment tool: The check for understanding so that children are learning what they need to learn.
3. Quizzing tool: Used for retrieval practice of the core knowledge they need to understand.
