Part 2 of a three-part series for D&T teacher educators, mentors and CPD leads. Part 1 set out why ‘ideation’ has been doing too much work and introduced the three axes the eleven types sit on. This part is the reference: what each type is, where it comes from, and what it looks like in a pupil's folder. Part 3 turns the typology into ITE and mentoring practice.
