Topic+Notes+-+week+1

Moodle – 13th July 2011 School staff plans a **scope and sequence** which sets out a whole school overview of what the HSIE/SOSE program will include. This identifies what will be learned at each level or stage across the whole school. The scope and sequence ensures continuity in learning for all students and ensures subject matter is not repeated for a particular students. This also requires planning essential sources of information or resources so they are available when needed as well as planning learning experiences such as excursions can be organised to fit in with the scope and sequence. Here is an example HSIE Scope and Sequence from my prac school, Macarthur Anglican.
 * __ EDSS223 Topic 1 _ Notes __**
 * Plan 1:**

Once the HSIE/SOSE framework (scope and sequence) is established within the school, teachers begin to prepare their **program**. A program includes:
 * Plan 2:**
 * **Units of work**
 * 1) Content of work set over several weeks (1 term or ½ a term)
 * 2) Either entirely teacher-prepared
 * 3) Or based on examples prepared by others (adjusted to suit schools scope and sequence, context and resources)
 * 4) Cover large chunks of the syllabus
 * 5) Have several syllabus outcomes being substantially addressed by student learning activities
 * 6) May address outcomes and content from other KLA’s to HSIE/SOSE (this is helpful as it not only enables more to be achieved in the time frame but also enables students to make connections to other subjects which may make learning more meaningful.

Divide units of work into smaller more manageable chunks called ‘**sequences**’. The structure of sequence will change according to the learning purpose. There are a few different sequences:
 * Plan 3:**
 * 1) Inquiry sequence (EDSS223)
 * 2) Values education sequences (EDSS324)
 * 3) Problem solving sequences
 * 4) Combination of sequences

Plan lessons and parts of lessons: - Is a daily task - Should take into account the outcomes of the previous lessons within the sequence as well as what has happened in the class in other learning areas
 * Plan 4:**
