Curriculum development
The Australian curriculum is being developed in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including teachers, principals, government, state and territory education authorities, professional education associations, business/industry, community groups and the public.
Curriculum development process
The national curriculum development process consists of four stages:
- Curriculum Framing Stage
Development of a broad outline of the K-12 curriculum for each learning area - Curriculum Writing Stage
Development of the K-12 curriculum for each learning area - Implementation Stage
Schools use curriculum for teaching and learning - Evaluation and Review Stage
Data collection on the use of the curriculum. Review of curriculum and modification as appropriate
More detail about the process that will be used to develop the national curriculum can be found in Curriculum Development. This working document also describes the structure of writing teams and consultation groups that will be involved in the national curriculum development.
The Curriculum Design paper provides guidelines for the writing of the Australian curriculum.
