Sequencing a year, not just a lesson

Most planning energy goes into single lessons. The bigger wins are in the order of the units.

A brilliant lesson in the wrong place in the year does less than an ordinary lesson in the right one.

Prerequisites first

Map what each unit assumes students already know, then order the units so those assumptions are true.

Plan where earlier ideas come back — in a later unit, a retrieval starter, an assessment — so knowledge is used, not just met once.
