FAQs

Is this HSIE unit based by the DET's new Terms 1-8 system, or by stages?

I have used the Sample Plan unit released by the DET. It is based on stages (e.g., Stage 1 = Years 1–2) rather than Terms 1-8. This is 100% ok, you have the flexibility to sequence units to best fit your school’s timetable and needs. It does not need to be written by Terms 1-8.
