 The Australian Curriculum website provides a clear shared understanding of what young people should be taught as they progress through their school life, no matter where they live in the country or which school they attend. The Australian Curriculum website is obviously very useful for teachers and principals, but it's also a great resource for parents. It's one of the first places to go to to see what your child should be taught each year. You can find parent specific resources in the parent information section of the website. On this page you can access an overview of the curriculum, frequently asked questions, handy links and more. There are six information sheets for parents. These provide a quick overview of what will be taught within a two year time frame. If you're looking for more specific information about the learning areas, you can go to the curriculum section of the website. For example, what would a Year 4 student be taught in mathematics? Select from the F10 drop down menu, under learning areas, mathematics. You can then jump to the relevant year group, in this case, Year 4, and read the Year 4 level description. You can also see the content descriptions that describe the content that teachers and students should cover. Further down the page, you can read the achievement standard. In other words, what a Year 4 student should be able to understand and do in mathematics by the end of the year. There are also some practical examples of students' work that you can view. The Australian Curriculum website is a great resource to help you understand more about your child's learning. But please remember, your child's teacher is the best person to speak to, if you have any concerns or suggestions about your child's education.
