SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Synthesises completed KUD charts into a programme-level developmental progression, enabling educators to plan, communicate, and assess progression across bands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Developmental matrix: A competency × band grid showing key milestones per LT and band, for a compact programme overview.
  • Per-competency chapters: Narrative sections that articulate Know/Understand/Do progression across bands for each competency, to guide teaching and assessment planning.
  • Programme design support: Helps curriculum teams align KUD inputs with a coherent progression arc for units and assessments.

Quick Start

Instruct the system to synthesise the provided KUD charts into a matrix and narrative chapters using the supplied competency structure.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn completed KUD charts into a coherent curriculum progression?

To turn KUD charts into a curriculum progression, you map learning targets to competencies, knowledge types, and band coverage. This synthesis generates a developmental matrix and per-competency narrative chapters to guide programme-level teaching and assessment planning.

What is a developmental matrix for programme-level curriculum design?

A developmental matrix is a competency-by-band grid showing key milestones per learning target and band. It provides a compact programme overview that helps curriculum teams align KUD inputs into a coherent progression arc across multiple grade levels.

How do I generate per-competency narrative chapters from KUD charts?

To generate per-competency narrative chapters from KUD charts, you apply a synthesis process that articulates Know/Understand/Do progression across bands for each competency. This uses the supplied competency structure to anchor the organisation while preserving traceable KUD relationships.

Can I apply filters or adjust the audience register when synthesising KUD progression data?

Yes, you can apply optional filters and adjust the audience register when synthesising KUD progression data. The outputs respect the two-output architecture and design rules described in the frontmatter, ensuring the developmental matrix and narrative chapters suit specific programme contexts.

Do I need a specific competency structure to map learning targets across bands?

Yes, you need a provided competency structure to anchor the organisation of learning targets across bands. The synthesis uses this structure to map KUD relationships accurately and produce coherent developmental matrices and narrative chapters for curriculum planning.

What is the best way to visualise learning target milestones across multiple bands?

The best way to visualise learning target milestones across multiple bands is using a developmental matrix. This competency-by-band grid compacts programme overview data by mapping completed KUD charts into key milestones for each learning target and band level.
