 If the language used in the curriculum is either waffly or overly technical, why can't it be in plain English? Well, the curriculum is a technical document for professional educators, so we should expect that there will be some technical language in it, but there is plenty of room for improvement in terms of plain English. So the revisions have gone a long way to improve the clarity of the language and to make it simpler and clearer. Another thing we've done is to really improve the quality of the content descriptions and the achievement standards. These are the core parts of the curriculum that teachers use to plan, to teach and to assess the subjects that they're teaching and how students are going. So we don't want to have teachers spending excessive amounts of time trying to interpret what the expectation is in terms of teaching, so we put a lot of effort into making it clearer and simpler.
