Evaluating an existing school scope and sequence allows schools to identify strengths in current practice and areas for improvement. Possible criteria to guide your evaluation include:

• represents a logical sequence of learning that meets syllabus requirements
• explicitly addresses all outcomes for each stage of learning
• identifies assessment tasks and when they will occur within the sequence of learning
• reflects the needs, interests and abilities of all students
• identifies key concepts and skills as well as the content focus of each unit of work
• reflects the recursive nature of learning, providing opportunities to revisit outcomes over the stage
• allows for and works around school-based events
• builds in flexibility to ensure equitable access to resources
• coordinates with scope and sequences for other key learning areas
