The TYMM portal provides programme pages for Grades 9–12. This does not mean every grade implements the new model in the same school year. The official 2025–2026 circular covers preparatory, Grades 9 and 10 in secondary education. Grade 11 and 12 theme maps are labelled as programmes published on the portal; annual implementation must be confirmed in the relevant MEB circular.
How to use this centre
- Open the grade page and review the official theme map.
- Compare the theme order with the school’s annual plan.
- Produce weekly evidence for each subject: problems, report, experiment, writing or presentation.
- At month-end, update the error log and connection to YKS/future goals.
How to read transitions between grades
Grade 9 establishes adjustment and foundations. The learner builds a system for new subjects, specialist teachers, abstract concepts and high-school life, beginning with a visible weekly plan and foundation gaps.
Grade 10 builds connections and trials. The learner links subjects and tests field interests through small tasks and projects, asking whether a favourite subject matches a sustainable work environment.
Grade 11 deepens field study and route research. YKS cycles, programme curricula, occupational tasks, language and cost evidence develop together. Two main routes and one alternative remain open.
Grade 12 closes school and manages transition. Graduation, YKS result, preference guide, programme code, special conditions, housing and finance share one calendar. The list reflects genuine order among programmes the learner would attend.
These pages are not isolated archives. At the end of each year, the learner carries two strong habits, two unfinished foundations, one support need and one project into the next page. Progress becomes more than a change of grade number.
The most important use of this centre is carrying learning evidence from one grade to the next. A plan is not restarted from zero each year. Strong evidence and open needs in reading, mathematical reasoning, experiment design, source evaluation, language and self-management are summarised with dates, allowing the learner to see development in strategy as well as grades.
The same record supports family and teachers. Family observes sleep, travel, safety and sustainable routine before simply increasing study time. Teachers or counsellors replace “study more” with a specific concept, skill, resource and review date. The learner’s view is recorded at every stage; the plan is not made on the learner’s behalf.
The presence of an official theme map does not make this website a substitute for the textbook or teacher plan. Themes are compared with the school programme, resources and the learner’s actual track. When a change occurs, the old record is not deleted; a new version and reason are added. This turns a static topic list into a living learning log.
Centre quiz
1. Does a Grade 11 programme on the portal prove Grade 11 implementation in 2025–2026?
No. Publication and annual phased implementation require separate confirmation.
2. What is the central task of Grade 9?
Build a study system, belonging and subject foundations in the new high-school environment.
3. How are interests tested in Grade 10?
Through small tasks, projects and work-environment trials, not a favourite subject alone.
4. How many routes should Grade 11 preserve?
Two main routes and at least one alternative rather than one closed target.
5. How is the Grade 12 preference list ordered?
By genuine preference among programmes the learner would attend if placed.
Deepening: how to use this across a term?
Reading High School Grade Learning Maps once at the start of term is not enough. In the first week, match the official theme map to the school plan, the teacher’s resources and the assessment calendar. For every subject, answer: “What will I understand this month, what product will show it, and which error keeps returning?” This turns a theme label into daily learning behaviour.
Use a four-week cycle: test prior knowledge in week one; produce a topic-specific example in week two; connect subjects in week three; complete retrieval, error analysis and a mini project in week four. One low grade does not prove a lack of ability. Concept, reading, calculation, time, anxiety and study method are examined separately.
At mid-term, open the evidence portfolio rather than only the grade average. Explanatory writing, worked problems, experiment records, graphs, source evaluation and oral explanation reveal different forms of learning. The learner marks what can be produced independently and what still requires teacher or adult support.
At the end of term, do not carry only the sentence “I will study more” into the next grade or YKS plan. Select two strong habits, two unfinished foundations, one support need and one real project. Revisiting the page with these four records turns it into a personal learning map.
| Record | Now | Update trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Known | Dated evidence with a source | New guide or programme version |
| Unknown | Person/document/mini trial to use | Answer or new observation |
| Non-negotiable | Condition the learner can sustain | Option removed if condition fails |
| Return | Scheduled review date | Before preference, term or application |
When should this centre be revisited?
The high-school grades centre is not a list to read once and close. At the beginning of the school year, identify the grade’s central developmental task; after the first assessments, revisit foundation gaps and study method; at term end, record evidence to carry into the next grade.
Grade 9 and 10 learners should return when routines, foundations or field interests change. In Grade 11, revisit as programme and occupation research becomes concrete; in Grade 12, reopen whenever ÖSYM announcements, guides, costs or housing evidence changes.
At every return, record more than the grade average: one independently produced learning artefact, one recurring error, one support need and one next mini project. Carrying these records across grade pages turns general advice into a personal, verifiable learning file.
EVIDENCE AND RETURN PLAN
High School Grade Learning Maps: turn information into a decision
Completing this page does not mean that every decision about high school grade learning maps is settled. To make the information usable, the learner should bring personal circumstances and current official evidence into one decision file. The plan below turns general guidance into observable evidence, uncertainty into a verification question and a first reading into a record that can be revisited.
Begin by examining “Four grades, four different tasks” beside “Grade 9”. For each heading, record one real situation, one unknown and one question to verify through a reliable source. Then test the suggestion under “Grade 10” on a small scale. Do not record only success or failure; note time used, support needed, the error encountered and what would change in a second attempt.
The third layer is comparison. Evaluate the focus “Grade 11” against at least two alternatives using the same criteria. Criteria should not be the title, institution name or first impression alone; use everyday practice, accessibility, time and cost, safety, source freshness and the learner’s own view. Do not assign a guessed score to missing information. Mark it clearly as “to be verified” and name the responsible source.
For dates, conditions, fees, quotas, rules or application details that can change, do not rely only on the page’s review date. Open the primary official notice, record its date and scope, and preserve the earlier value in a version history when information changes. This makes it possible to see which decision relied on which evidence at a particular time.
The final step belongs to the learner. Answer: what did I understand, what remains doubtful, what support do I need and what is my next small action? Keep parent or teacher observations in a separate row rather than replacing the learner’s view. Reopen the same record after one week or one month and compare changed evidence with needs that remain.
| Focus | Evidence to produce | Closing question |
|---|---|---|
| Four grades, four different tasks | One real situation + one verification question | What changes in my own context? |
| Grade 9 | Source, date and scope record | Is the source current and direct? |
| Grade 10 | Small trial + error log | What will change in version two? |
| Grade 11 | Two-alternative comparison | Which difference genuinely affects the decision? |
Suggested return: a short check seven days after the first record; whenever an official change is published; and a full reread before an important decision.
