I created this draft last March but never posted it, I am posting it now as a means of revision. Additionally, I attended an NCCA inservice today and will include a few slides with key information to guide my teaching this year.
It is advisable to have decided whether the CBA will be based on Enterprise/Economics/Finance as the specification and Units of learning covered in first year should be providing the students with the foundations to prepare students for the CBA
