Dan was very personable in his approach and delivery. He knows the content and how to apply it to better the skills of our teachers so that students also will gain benefit. Utilising the RAP data was helpful for teacher reflection and found the study tips useful too.

New Elements of the HMS Syllabus
The Collaborative Investigation
The most challenging aspect of the new syllabus is this formally assessed task. We are assessing their ability to collaborate, providing both group and individual marks while assessing the process and the findings.
Let me guide you through the process of creating this and the resources to ensure its success.
Depth Studies
One of the biggest changes in the new syllabus is the introduction of depth studies. Many teachers are unsure of the best ways to implement this in their classroom, when to do them or whether they should assess them or not.
Get clarity on what they are, when to do them, and how to implement them.
New Content
While much of the syllabus is the same, there have been many changes as well. There is new content, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, and content has also been rearranged or merged together.
Get guided to new resources, and new teaching ideas for the new content.
