How is this document useful to us?
We now know what students will have been taught before coming to our year level
We know what we need to teach them in our year level - and
We know what they will be taught in future year levels
How is this useful to us? Saving time and energy for teaching
what’s new and relevant rather than what the students already know
Giving students a sense of moving forward with their learning, not repeating previous lessons – and not leaving something out along the way!
And where are these saved?
