I love the 'Hello Fresh' analogy. A bank of quality evidence-based resources is exactly what we need to reduce our workload. I speak from my own experience at creating units of work from scratch when I say that it does help me to feel more connected to the unit; however, my goal is to let this attitude go and enjoy the expertise of others while still being able to adapt to my own students and setting. Thank you Ochre Education!
The other thing to consider is that if you create from scratch with enough detail you can share with others. And then they can do likewise. But it’s in the detail. A skeleton unit just doesn’t help anyone. I think seeing the models of practice is just gold as a use of Ochre materials. Especially for primary.
