Transformation+of+Programming+and+Assessment

Transformation **“We have to know where we want to end up before we start out – and plan how to get there …” (1999, Tomlinson).**

The model is a synthesis of backward mapping, the NSW Quality Teaching Model and the GATS models of Kaplan, Williams and Maker. =**Resources**= Booklet: Model: Power point presentation: Mark Hemphill Assessment: Activity Sheets:
