This week I outline 5 big ideas about the value of D&T. Do your values of D&T match with any of these?

Mentioned in this episode:

Five themes:

  1. D&T meets our economic and domestic needs
  2. Generic and transferrable skills
  3. Technological awareness
  4. Create and recognise good design
  5. Personal development and enjoyment

I talk in more detail about these values in chapter 2, Understanding yourself – beliefs, values and attitudes how your experiences influence your approaches to mentoring of the book Mentoring Design and Technology Teachers in the Secondary School
