What is Curriculum?
Curriculum is all the planned learning offered and enacted by a school. It is dynamic and encompasses:
- The learning environment
- Resources
- Teaching approaches and strategies
- Assessment programs and methods
- The values and ethos of the school
- The relationships and behaviours among students and teachers
These are all interconnected and provide the experiences that contribute to student learning. Students at Caboolture Special School progress through our school’s equity continuum from Access, through Engagement to Pathways as depicted in the model below.
