Curriculum design/planning

[Mim1974]

Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask, AQA are dropping a course and introducing another one this Sept, however we have no resources at the school, our head of dept and subject course leader( same person ) is asking us to come up with something from scratch...I'm thinking this is more of a curriculum planning/design, and wondered if we are supposed to do this as teachers ? Isn't the job of the head of dept? Or should we get TLR for this? I understand that planing comes along, but doing it all from scratch is anither thing. I'm new into this profession, almost two years in the job, but I feel.like I have been asked for more here.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Pretty standard in my experience. Have you thought about looking to see what others have shared online? Might be easier to adapt rather than starting from scratch.

Curriculum plans aren't just the head of department's job. It's the person in the rooms responsibility to plan their own lessons and to know the spec. A HoD should support but you are expected to read specifications and adapt curriculum plans and to plan appropriately. Ultimately whilst the HoD is responsible - you are responsible for the attainment in that class.

Even if you're an ECT.

If anything - this is a beneficial thing to do - you will have experience for if you decide to be a HoD - but ultimately it's part of your job as a teacher as you'll be stood in that room teaching those kids.

Thank.
We are talking about a two year course design from scratch, a new course, this isn't planning or modification, this is starting from scratch by looking at the scope of the course, it's structure, selecting content, assessments, evaluation of its effectiveness to reach its goal.
With regards to ECT, they should not be involved with this kind of duties.

Reasonable that you are expected to contribute to the design of the curriculum with guidance from HoD. I’d expect them to direct you during gained time to do the bulk of this ready for the next academic year.

A teacher needs to know the spec they are going to be teaching - totally appropriate that you would look through it and think about the units you would feel most confident with.

A TLR is for far more than contributing to planning a scheme of work.

The teacher standards document outlines all the expectations. I don't think it unusual but I do think it takes time.

It sounds like you're being asked to design a scheme of work from scratch, rather than plan your own lessons. This is your HoD's job, and what they are paid to do. Your job is to take this scheme of work and plan your lessons around it.

You do need to become familiar with the specification etc, but I'd refuse to do anything that wasn't just for your own knowledge (e.g. creating a curriculum overview plan that could be used by other people at a later stage).
