Progress in creation of the National Curricula in music and the other arts
As at the end of January, the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), which is managing the creation of the National Curriculum, had received over 1,600 online consultation responses and 166 written submissions to the draft Shape of the Australian Curriculum: The Arts. Respondents included classroom teachers, curriculum authorities, parents, industry groups and university lecturers.
The extensive feedback on the draft shape paper is being analysed and the resulting consultation report will be considered by the ACARA Curriculum Committee in April 2011. The consultation report will inform the revision of the draft Shape of the Australian Curriculum: the Arts resulting in a final shape paper which will guide the writing of the Arts curriculum.
The curriculum development schedule from here on is:
- Final Shape of the Australian Curriculum: The Arts: published June 2011
- Broad outline of the arts curriculum; scope and sequence: July – September 2011
- Content descriptions (and elaborations) and achievement standards: September – December 2011
- National consultation: 2012
