  1. The interface between secondary and tertiary biology teaching And why it’s important to know about it

  2. Awareness of students’ likely prior knowledge can help us bridge them into tertiary learning; • Students’ prior learning experiences will shape their expectations of tertiary study; • Upcoming changes in curriculum and assessment will render much of our current awareness & expectations obsolete.

  3. ‘Current’ Biology Matrix

  4. Achievement Standards =/= the totality of the curriculum. Considerable variation between schools in which ASs they offer. Intention of new curriculum is to teach students how to learn, not stuff them full of facts (‘process’ skills as well as content; ability to find information rather than remember it). Students develop particular understandings & expectations around assessment.
