Curriculum planning framework with programming support :: Curriculum Planning, Programming, Assessing & Reporting to parents K-12. NSW Board of Studies syllabuses provide for a common curriculum for all students in NSW. They are developed for government and non-government schools, as specified in the Education Act, 1990. The Department policy, Curriculum planning and programming, assessing and reporting to parents K – 12, has specific requirements for NSW public schools.

Curriculum planning processes will provide a systematic approach to covering outcomes and content areas across years and stages. Curriculum planning enables a school to monitor the coverage, continuity and development of desired knowledge, skills, understanding and values across the stages of schooling. The development of scope and sequence or continuum for key learning areas, and secondary course plans, are all examples of curriculum planning.

Teaching and learning programs represent the implementation of school curriculum planning. Department support for curriculum planning and programming 7 - 12.

August 7, 2012 To all my educator colleagues: As you all know, I retired in June of 2011 from my school district job as Director of Technology. I retired to spend more time learning new things to support you as you embed technology into teaching and learning in a meaningful way.

I now have the time to visit districts and help with their technology-related initiatives, teach online graduate courses for the Wilkes/Discovery Masters program, and host several webinar series. Also, with this retirement, I have had the time to develop and enhance some online information sources for you. Since I started the Schrockguide in June of 1995, a lot has changed. Web 2.0, social networking, and social bookmarking have allowed every educator to share their favorite sites with others. However, I am not retired from providing you with great resources and ideas to support teaching and learning! I hope to hear from you via the new sites I am now creating. Kathy.
