Exploration crew

To support the staff at KPS in understanding and adopting the Australian Curriculum, we established an exploration crew - the AC:E team in 2012. The team is comprised of five teachers, representative of all phases of learning, and our curriculum leader. 

The team meets twice a term to delve deeper into the curriculum, to develop and update school policies and to plan and teach lessons based on the Literature strand. After reflection and modification, these lessons and units of work are shared with the broader staff to trial in their classes. 

The AC:E team's achievements so far include; 

• Developing a school editing policy and punctuation pyramid
• Updating our whole school spelling scope and sequence 
• Constructing a text types overview from F-7
• Linking Geography and History to Literature based lessons
• The development of units of work based on ANZAC Day literature

The AC:E team are currently preparing to lead their collaborative teams in the planning of a Literature learning sequence tied to History, in preparation for next term. We will share these on the blog in the near future.
