P–10 History Australian Curriculum and resources

Foundation (F) in the Australian Curriculum refers to the year before Year 1. In Queensland this year of schooling is called the Preparatory Year or Prep (P).

In 2011 - 2012, Queensland teachers have the opportunity to become familiar with the new P–10 History curriculum by auditing and reviewing current programs and engaging with targeted professional development.

In 2013, Queensland schools will plan, teach, assess and report on History across the year levels using the Australian Curriculum which can be accessed on the Australian Curriculum website.

Year plans

Curriculum and assessment planning within schools occurs at three levels: whole school, year and unit. Each plan complements the others as they work together to support student learning.

Year level curriculum and assessment planning identifies the specific teaching, learning and assessment in a learning area for the year. It clarifies the curriculum intent and ensures coverage, balance and responsiveness across the year. It is informed by the whole school plan and guides the development of unit overviews.

QSA has provided advice and guidelines on assessment and standards, which can be accessed on the Assessment tab.

Unit overviews

Unit overviews identify the specific curriculum content, teaching strategies, and approaches to assessment and resources. They are informed by the whole school plan and the year level plan.
