This page is undergoing updating and revisions – October 16, 2018
The monthly pages in this list of posts on topics are arranged so that you can stay ahead of your schedule. This is not intended to be a day-by-day listing of what you should teach, or even in what order you the topics should be taught. The topics for each month are arranged so that you can read them before you get to that topic – that is, so that you can use them to plan several weeks ahead of when you teach the topics, or use a different order.
A list with links to a variety of resources for teachers including the Course and Exam Description, indices to questions and other topics of interest.
