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
