    Notes to Physics Teachers

    We suggest that you pay particular attention to the following sections:

    1. School Rationale. Own school details and philosophy should be used instead.

    2. Course Organisation and Methodology. Amend as necessary. Add or subtract extension and electives.

    3. Course Overview. Amend Extension material as necessary.

    4. Assessment. It is fairly crappy in retrospect but can be modified.

    5. Specific Objectives. Amend as necessary and insert own Learning Experiences at bottom.

    This guide is not meant to be prescriptive but is designed to show a typical approach and one that should be acceptable for accreditation with the Queensland Studies Authority. You may just choose to cut and paste the specific objectives into your own Work Program but remember that they are written specifically for the Senior Physics text and may not be suitable elsewhere.
