Take into consideration events that may occur during the year such as performances and assessments, and the impact these events have on planning. Develop and document additional learning activities as required to ensure progression throughout the four plans and meet learning goals and objectives. Make sure your plans are clearly set out and written so that they can be easily understood and reviewed by the school principal or a senior teacher (and your assessor).
