Guide Notes: This section has been designed to organise the growing number of Mantle of the Expert frames into a consistent format which can be easily explored. The planning it contains has been invented and used in class by practicing teachers and categorised according to the key stages in the National Curriculum. As a point of note, if you are thinking of using a frame it is a good idea to look at corresponding KS’s since many frames are suitable for more than one age range.
Contributions: As a community we welcome contributions from all teachers exploring MoE, however inexperienced. If you have designed a frame you would like to share with other teachers then please fill in our planning form, return it by email and we will happily add it to the site.
