Course description

This professional learning session provides teachers and leaders with resources and strategies to effectively plan, teach, and assess the Australian Curriculum in multi-age classes. Multi-age classrooms, where students from two or more year levels learn together, require structured approaches to ensure comprehensive curriculum coverage without gaps or unnecessary repetition.

Participants will explore whole-school planning templates, A/B curriculum models, subject-specific planning tools, and assessment strategies tailored for multi-age settings. The session supports teachers and leaders in small schools (100 students or less) to deliver high-quality education aligned with the Australian Curriculum
