If two teachers are sharing a group can they start on different topics or split a topic?
A. The course is really designed to start with Topic 1 and then move through the topics in order. But if two teachers are sharing a group it is possible to split the teaching of each topic between two members of staff. Details on how to split the materials are provided in the introduction to each teaching scheme. It is possible for one teacher to start on Topic 1 and the other to start on Topic 2, however the teacher on Topic 2 needs to be aware that there may be some ideas that are introduced in Topic 1 and then built on in early in Topic 2 before they have met the information in Topic 1. For example, Topic 1 includes detail of carbohydrates and lipids, and Topic 2 looks in detail at phospholipids. The teacher of Topic 2 may have to cover the Topic 1 detail at this point. The concept map that accompanies the teaching schemes indicates where concepts are introduced and then revisited.
