Everyone Everyday Curriculum Resource

A key element of the program is a curriculum resource for ACT teachers to raise student awareness about the inclusion of people with disability.  The resource will include a set of classroom activities that are evidence based and align with the new Australian Curriculum and the ACT Schools Curriculum Framework – Every Chance to Learn.
The curriculum resource will initially be developed and trialled with primary school teachers of students in years 3 to 5. We hope to trial the resource in Term 3, 2012.
While the primary audience for the curriculum resource is teachers, it will also be useful for school care, holiday programs and community clubs and groups to foster awareness about inclusion.
Schools that have agreed to be part of the trial so far are Namadgi School, Garran Primary, Gowrie Primary and Turner School.  If your primary school would like to be part of the trial of the resource please contact us on the details below.

Consultations on the Curriculum Resource

A discussion paper to guide consultations on the curriculum resource was released on 23 January 2012 and is open for consultation until Friday 30 March 2012.
If you would like to attend a consultation session on the resource or make a submission, please contact us
