  12. Learning across the curriculum Two main types: Learning that gives special attention to contemporary issues students will face in their lives Learning that develops knowledge, skills and dispositions that apply across learning areas

  13. Why do we program?

  14. Preparation Check the NSW Curriculum & Learning Innovation Centre’s website Begin planning for implementation of the new syllabuses • Include preparation for implementation in school plans. • Collaborate with colleagues in your own and other schools through learning areas, cross-curriculum areas and stages of learning. Check the Board of Studies website. Note that you can register for Board of Studies weekly bulletins.

  15. Preparation 1. Think about the school and learning community teams that can be built to prepare a curriculum that works for your students. 2. MAP the syllabus and determine what content will be taught when- skills and engagement sit at the core. 3. Strongly consider assessment for learning as the place to start. 4. Avoid the risk factors- text books, old programs, new programs.
