What are the key similarities between the Curriculum Design paper and the current Queensland situation?
• There are many similarities between the design for the Australian curriculum and Queensland’s design principles and elements for the low definition syllabus based on informed prescription and informed professionalism documents described in Learning P-12. • The Essential Learnings and Standards provide teachers with a model that clearly identifies what students are expected to learn and what teachers should teach in the Knowledge and understanding and Ways of working. • The Shape of the Australian Curriculum learning area papers include strands or organisers for curriculum content. The Essential Learnings also have curriculum organisers. While some of the names of these strands or organisers are different, the big ideas presented in both are very similar. • The senior syllabuses have General Objectives which are similar to the aims and areas of study which are similar to the content organiser. • Queensland teachers are very familiar with standards-based assessment.
