Mini-COGE Advanced: More Curriculum Differentiation

Area of interest: EDUCATION

The Mini-COGE Advanced course offers Mini-COGE graduates the opportunity to upgrade their skillsets and knowledge base to better face the challenges the diverse classroom presents. 

Mini-COGE Day 3 builds on the differentiation practices learned on Mini-COGE Day 2. In this session, teachers will learn how to compact the curriculum for students who have mastered outcomes, supporting their development further.  The session will also explore how to utilise the time saved by compacting the curriculum. Teachers will practice new curriculum models, write independent research projects and develop individual learning plans.
