DIFFERENTIATION IN HASS CURRICULUM
All students are entitled to rigorous, relevant and engaging learning programs drawn from the Western Australian
Curriculum: Humanities and Social Sciences. Teachers take account of the range of their students' current levels of learning,
strengths, goals and interests and make adjustments where necessary. In order to cater for the diverse needs of students
across Western Australia and to personalise their learning, the skills required in understanding the curriculum content differ
in each course. These skills will be the focus of lesson activities and assessments in each course.
In Year 7 Course 2, the further building of Questioning and Researching skills and Communicating and Reflecting skills as well as
the building of Analytical skills are the focus of lessons. These skills are in addition to those listed in Course 1.
