P-12 Curriculum Framework
This statement may assist schools to inform their communities about the new P-12 Curriculum Framework.
This policy is an overarching document to guide school curriculum provision. It sets out clear system-level requirements, expectations and principles of teaching and learning.
The P-12 Curriculum Framework challenges schools to generate excellence and equity in student learning outcomes and acknowledges the teacher's critical role in delivering the best possible learning outcomes for every student.
To support schools in this endeavour, a comprehensive set of guidelines, for teachers and administrators, is available on this site.
This set of guidelines addresses:
- whole-school intervention to support schools in meeting the learning needs of all students and raising the standard of student achievement
- using student achievement data to inform teaching and learning
- school curriculum planning to ensure a clear and shared understanding of the intended curriculum; provide time and support for teachers to be responsive to students' needs; and establish a clear purpose for curriculum planning at the whole-school, cross-phase, and classroom levels. Templates are provided to assist schools with their planning processes.
These guidelines look at how we learn and the implications for teaching. They provide advice on teaching so that all students learn, develop in-depth understanding, build knowledge, and learn how to improve their own learning. A Productive Pedagogies five-point scale assists teachers to reflect on how the four dimensions of productive pedagogies might look as classroom practice is refined and improved.
These guidelines offer advice on developing and implementing high quality assessment and moderating teacher judgments.
These guidelines offer advice on reporting as part of curriculum and, in particular, how schools can implement the reporting requirements specified in the P-12 Curriculum Framework Policy Statement. Exemplar reports are provided.
These guidelines offer advice on the role of leadership in building a professional community within the school.
These guidelines assist teachers and school administrators to translate the P - 12 Curriculum Framework into practice for students with disabilities. An outline of requirements for "Individual Student Plans" is provided.
These guidelines support teachers and school leaders to implement the P-12 Curriculum Framework for ESL learners.
