Your feedback about the P-10 Australian Curriculum Review
/0 Comments/in Events, News, PD /by Gaynor JohnsonTeachers from around the State participated in five online professional conversation about the changes proposed in the P-10 Australian Curriculum Review. The feedback from these sessions were collated and submitted to ACARA.
To read the response please click here.
Recording/resources shared though the review process can be found here:
Session 2: Review of the CORE CONCEPTS: what is essential for students to learn. Download the Overview of the Core Concepts PDF here.
Session 1: The REVIEW PROCESS & PROPOSED CHANGES – Rachael Whitney-Smith, Lead for the Mathematics review at ACARA and members of her team. Download Slides here
Please note that responses were based on the feedback from these sessions and care was taken to be solutions focused and represent the diverse views presented. Individuals were also directed to provide individual feedback through the ACARA survey.
One of the QAMT’s aims is advocacy for our members – this is just one of the ways we help your voice be heard.
