Draft National Curriculum

The Draft National Curriculum is being launched today by Federal Education Minister Julia Gillard.  Here are some quick links.

• Federal Department of Education National Curriculum page (just a brief outline, then refers you to ACARA)
• ACARA (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, responsible for the documents)
• Want to get involved in the consultation process? Click here.
• Want to read resources, including information sheets from ACARA on each subject? Click here (or if you just want one subject's information sheet: English, Maths, History, Science).

Curriculum drafts:

• Draft Maths curriculum pdf
• Draft Science curriculum pdf
• Draft History pdf
• Draft English pdf

PDF copies of the draft curricula in Maths, Science, History and English are from this Melbourne Herald-Sun article.

(The SMH is apparently very preoccupied today with Spencer Tunick's photography at the Sydney Opera House).
