Today, DOBCEL facilitated an English Curriculum Project Planning Day providing an opportunity for English subject teams to review and recreate their curriculum with a focus on mapping a developmental sequence of skills and knowledge for Years 7-10.

With the new English Victorian Curriculum 2.0 also presenting an opportunity for review, the teams participated in a series of workshops with the goal to build practices and curriculum for their own school settings.

The day was led by expert in the field, Kirstin Bourne, and built on professional learning opportunities over the past 18 months to enhance teachers’ knowledge of the pedagogy, curriculum and assessment required to improve student outcomes in years 7-10 in English.

The day was co-ordinated by Julia Petrov DOBCEL, Education Officer: Learning and Teaching.
