This site provides access documents that map the Australian Curriculum to the K-10 Syllabus. These documents will help teachers to become familiar with the Australian Curriculum for English, mathematics, science and history. This information may be used to identify what content to include, omit or modify in teaching and learning programs. Given the advisory nature of the WA K-10 Syllabus, the extent of change required is likely to vary within and between schools.

You will find an “Australian Curriculum tab” on the homepage to help you find resources that match curriculum content descriptions as set out by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority for the subject areas of English, history, mathematics and science.You can continue to search for resources by learning area and/or topics by using the panel on the left of the homepage. The Advanced search option has also been moved to the top of the homepage next to the search area.

Additional criteria to refine your search

In the Find by Australian Curriculum area there are now additional criteria to refine your search. In addition to year levels, you can apply filters from the areas of General capabilities and Cross-curriculum priorities.

Australian Curriculum view option for search results

When you search for a resource, the results that come up can now be viewed according to their relevance to the Australian Curriculum. Click on View by Australian Curriculum on the top of your Search results page to view resources matched to the curriculum.

Resource details includes Australian Curriculum parameters

Along with the education details on the Resource details page, you can also read the curriculum content description, elaborations, general capabilities and ScOT terms used for a specific resource.

Add content descriptions to your learning paths

You can now view elaborations for each content description and also add the content descriptions to your learning paths by clicking the Add content description to learning path button. It works in the same way as adding resources to your learning path.

Students viewing a learning path that contains either teacher resources or curriculum content descriptions will not be able to view the teacher resources or content descriptions. These changes will also be reflected within the Collaborative Activity space.

Differentiate between classroom resources and teacher resources

You can choose to categorise your search results as ‘classroom resources’ or ‘teacher resources’. Classroom resources are resources that can be used with students – such as learning objects, assessment objects and so on – whereas teacher resources include teaching support materials such as units of work and teacher ideas.

About the Teaching & Learning Resource Pilot

http://www.abceducation.net.au/

The resources featured on this website come from different program areas across the ABC including TV, radio and online.

Educational content or metadata has been added by educators to reflect the relevant subjects and years. This site is to be used by teachers, students and parents.

The teaching and learning materials are relevant for the following curricula:

  • NSW curriculum (as at 2009); and
  • National / Australian curriculum (2010 draft).

The content available in this pilot is already available via ABC online; therefore, it does not require any additional licensing to use within the classroom or elsewhere.

The pilot project has the following aims:

  • To test the technology of sharing content and metadata between the ABC and Centre for Learning Innovation (NSW Department of Education & Training) as well as the broader community of teachers, students and parents across Australia;
  • To assess the value of different ABC content and programs to teachers in the classroom; and
  • To explore the most useful formats and delivery mechanisms for ABC content to teachers, parents and students.

In the longer term, the ABC is planning to continue mapping its high value educational content to all subjects within the National / Australian curriculum and make this available through the ABC Learn site as well as a number of outlets and platforms.
