      What is a repeated or duplicate lesson in my Sequence?

      To help keep your Sequences fresh and relevant, identify lessons that may already have been completed by students or lessons that are used with a different year level.

      When creating your sequences, you may notice icons that appear on a few lessons:

      Or while browsing the Lesson Library in your Sequence:

      Repeated and Duplicate Sequence Icons

      These icons help you quickly spot lessons that students may have already completed or may be likely to be repeated.

      What Are Repeated or Duplicate Lessons?

      • Repeated Lessons: Lessons that some students have already completed in a previous Sequence or school year. 
        • For example: If Year 10 students completed a "Random Acts of Kindness" lesson in their Year 9 (2024) Sequence, and this lesson is added to their Year 10 (2025) Sequence, it would count as a repeat.
      • Duplicate Lessons: Lessons that are already in another sequence for a different year level. This isn't an immediate issue, but may lead to repeated lessons in future years.
        • For example: If a "Random Acts of Kindness" lesson is part of a Year 9 Sequence (2024) and Year 11 Sequence (2024), if the Year 11 Sequence is cloned or reused, those Year 9 students may repeat the lesson when they reach Year 11.

      What should I do if I have these in my Sequence?

      Don't stress! These icons are here to guide you in creating Sequences that feel fresh and exciting for students every year. Here’s what you can do:

      1. Check the Lesson
        Take a quick look to see if the lesson still fits your plan. If students have already completed it or it doesn’t align with the current class, swap it out for something new.

      2. Explore Newer Lessons
        Your Lesson Library automatically moves repeated and duplicate lessons to the bottom, so it’s easy to find unused lessons to add instead.

      3. Consider Other Year Levels
        For duplicates, double-check that the lesson is appropriate for your current class and year group. We suggest checking in with the relevant person creating the other sequence and deciding which sequence you should keep the lesson in and which sequence you should remove it from.

      4. Keep It Fresh
        If the warning comes from a re-used Sequence of a previous year, review and update it to make sure it’s fresh and relevant for this year’s students.
