There are a range of resources available to help you with curriculum planning and delivery, including planning guidelines and modules.

Curriculum Planning Guidelines

The Curriculum Planning Guidelines include five phases: understanding the context, planning and resourcing, implementation, continuous monitoring and evaluation and review. For each of these levels there are readings, tools and related websites to support discussion and decision making. In the Implementation section there are school and cluster stories.

For more information, see: Curriculum Planning Guidelines

Curriculum Planning Modules

There are two professional modules to help you with planning the curriculum for students in Prep to Year 10.

Module 1 is a whole-school curriculum planning and Module 2 has information about planning programs for cohorts of students.

The Curriculum Planning Modules assist schools to:

• develop whole school curriculum plans and program plans for cohorts of students that reflect a strong understanding of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards, the Principles of Learning and Teaching P-12 and the Assessment and Reporting Advice, based on the school profile
• develop a whole school curriculum plan that reflects the needs of the school community
• develop program plans for cohorts of students that will best support their learning.

The two modules comprise learning activities, professional reading and facilitator’s notes:

• Module 1: Whole school curriculum planning to suit our students – provides a sequential and structured process for developing a whole school curriculum plan to implement the VELS
• Module 2: Planning programs for cohorts of students – provides a sequential and structured process for developing student learning programs.
