Content, assessment and media review
A planned lesson, a written draft and an approved lesson are different stages. New programmes require reviewed technical content, appropriate references, approved assessment answers, completed media and a tested learning journey. The 300-lesson figure is a development target, not a claim of 300 approved lessons.
