So what will we do to get there?How will we engage, challenge and support
the learning? Design the teaching and learning plan
How will we know if they got it?What could the intended learning look like at
this level?What evidence will enable us to asses the
intended learning?
What do we want our students to learn?What is the intended learning and why is it
important? What do the students bring?
