What is this course about?

Having chosen a good example, broken it down into Atoms, and assessed the Atoms students have encountered before, we can now teach the new Atoms to students. In this workshop, we examine how to label each new Atom and how that labelling will determine the most effective way to teach it. This helps us reap the final 20% of benefits from Atomisation.
