More unit-only presentations

National 5 Numeracy entrance requirement for National 5 Maths is an unknown quantity

Need to develop additional ways to develop numeracy skills during the senior phase

Changes to the BGE

Changes to the BGE

Review courses with a focus on the end point

Deep learning in fourth level

Maintain breadth of learning in S3

More cross-cutting questioning

Recognise achievements from the BGE as part of a fall-back position

Bi-level Teaching

Bi-level Teaching

May need to develop this for National 4 and National 5 Numeracy

Delivering other units on a whole-class bi-level basis will prove challenging

Closing the Gap
