The material in the Powerpoints presentations (accessible through the KLA links below) has been developed to assist school leaders in workshops. The presentations provide an introduction to consistency and comparability as well as opportunities for professional dialogues.

Further, they allow for identification of questions and follow up. More sustained discussion with staff will be needed to ensure a shared understanding of policy requirements and collaborative planning for effective implementation across the school.

Consistency using Connected Outcomes Groups (COGs)
a flexible curriculum planning, programming and assessing framework
The curriculum planning framework and programming support, including COGs,  assists schools in managing the curriculum for all six key learning areas across the stages of primary schooling. The framework includes connected outcomes groups (COGs) for the key learning areas of HSIE, SciTech, Creative Arts and PDHPE. Programming support is provided for English and Mathematics, in accordance with the Eltis recommendation that priority be given to the teaching of English and Mathematics.

Connected Outcomes Groups (COGs) for the key learning areas of HSIE, SciTech, Creative Arts and PDHPE:

• naturally connect through similar content, processes or skills
• make programming manageable by connecting similar content, processes and skills
• connect ideas for students to maximise their learning
• allow the curriculum to be taught more efficiently
• ensure a balanced coverage of all key learning areas.

For more information about the Curriculum Planning Framework and Programming Support go to: Time to teach.  Work samples for the COGs units are available.
