Planning
Important questions to start
What should the students learn and how do they learn best?
How do the students get better in their learning?
Are our student outcomes good enough
How do I support good, valid judgements?
What do I teach so students achieve outcomes?
Teachers need to know for each lesson
What am I teaching?
Why am I teaching it?
How will I teach it?
How will I know when all students have learned it?
What then?

Statements
Aim - a broad statement of educational intent
Goal - More specific statement - precisely worded statement of curriculum intent
Objective - Specific statement of curriculum intent
