Studies of Asia

Back to:

Resources

The Asia Education Foundation has developed over 65 texts including CD-ROMs and online materials as part of the Access Asia series of curriculum resources.

The Asia Scope and Sequence documents highlight key studies of Asia concepts and content that can be incorporated into curricula for:

  • P–10 English
  • Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE)
  • The Arts.

These documents identify opportunities for teachers within these curriculum areas to introduce or strengthen engagement with Asia
