What Teachers Are SayingDiscover how the First News MIL TeachKit could transform your classroom, too
Discover how the First News MIL TeachKit could transform your classroom, too
"The spiral curriculum design from Y3 to Y9 is well thought through and covers lots of content that I would like my students to understand. The lesson plans are well-designed and I like that they cover potential misconceptions and required prior knowledge."
"It’s clearly very comprehensive and well thought out. It offers an off the shelf spiralled curriculum with clear objectives and links to a workable framework."
"The teaching notes are really clear - with the learning objective clearly set out. You know what the focus is, what they are going to learn and be able to do."
