AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUMAction Plan Where do we start? What do we have to do? 5 Point Action Plan
Step 1 – Scope and Sequences • KLA subject specific syllabus analysis – what do we have to teach? • rationalisation – what’s new, what’s different? • create new S&Ss for Years 7 through to 10 • what can we keep and adapt? • timeline? • S&S development needs to be linked in to resource availability as it could determine what we teach.
Step 2- Resources Collection of resources for the new curriculum • Teachers need current resources to confidently program for the Australian Curriculum. Curriculum Coordinator and KLA Coordinators should gather a board selection of resources from publishers both text and digital. • All Australian Curriculum resources to be kept in the one place until implementation of the curriculum – for ready reference - (remember this implementation should be owned by everyone not just Coordinators) Questions to ask: • What resources do we already have? • What do we need to get? • What are the main publishers putting out? • Do we want to organise for sales reps to call? • What are the professional associations offering? Are we members if not we join! • What units are already written? If so where are they?
Step 3 – What do we do? Let’s not reinvent the wheel!!! Investigation of what is already available for use: • There is already stuff out there and more to come, don’t think its about starting from scratch!
What do we do? • www.edekit.com.au https://pb.bos.nsw.edu.au/ Check these out!
Step 4 – Programming We have to document our units: • Attend CSO writing days • Organise our stuff, that means linking all aspects • We need to get our stuff on Edekit so it is all in one place: i.e. • unit program • resources • assessment • S&S
Step 5 - Familiarisation This will require reading and review of programs and texts: • further develop resources • become an expert • share insights and ideas
