Each Concept is explored developmentallyacross Levels 1-4. Ideas are built on andexpanded as students move from level to
level.
This developmental approach ensures thatcontent is not repeated and is built on tomatch the maturity and readiness of
studentsat each level.

Appropriate numeracy and literacy application tasks have been included to ensure that students are able to see the integration of mathematics and literacy skills within their lives.
Teachers are encouraged to add more Literacy and Numeracy tasks as they see fit.

questions while at the same time
meeting mandated standards.

As Inter@ct provides teacherswith a rich and well constructedcurriculum, they have more timeto spend on the important job ofmodifying tasks to best suit theneeds of specific students
![Page 26: Curriculum for 21 st Century Learners Written by Karen Green & Amanda Dressing V1.1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517699a55034645368b49f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
To further support Inter@ct Schools, we offer a range of workshops to ensure that you get the most out of your investment.
Any Inter@ct school can send 1-2 staff to a half day workshop on differentiation strategies on Thursday 7th April 9-1pm at Wheelers Hill International (cost of venue and morning tea only $30 pp)
![Page 27: Curriculum for 21 st Century Learners Written by Karen Green & Amanda Dressing V1.1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517699a55034645368b49f9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Each task within Inter@ct has a Guided Reflection.
These are designed to allow for timely, targetedopportunities for students to consider how they
aregoing ‘as’ learners.
This reflective practice supports the development
of metacognitive capacity which is an essentialingredient of the thoughtful, life long learner.
![Page 28: Curriculum for 21 st Century Learners Written by Karen Green & Amanda Dressing V1.1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517699a55034645368b49f9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The interactive nature of this program allows teachers to add tasks to further enhance the units based on the needs of, and opportunities available to, particular students and learning environments.
In most cases teachers will wish to write additional skill specific units to complement the Inter@ct unit e.g. fractions.
Teachers are advised of the numeracy and literacy links within each unit to help inform their skill specific teaching.
![Page 29: Curriculum for 21 st Century Learners Written by Karen Green & Amanda Dressing V1.1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5517699a55034645368b49f9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Habits of Mind are defined by their authors ArtCosta and Bena Kallick as ‘Ways to behaveintelligently when you don’t know the answer.’
Within each unit, tasks are written to explore 2Habits of Mind. This ensures that each Habit
istaught explicitly within the 2 year Scope andSequence of Inter@ct Units.
