The planner should be a live document that is completed collaboratively and reviewed periodically. This supports a consistent implementation of NESA and department policy requirements and whole-school and faculty requirements. It also establishes a shared vision for the scope of subject English, and guides long-term design of teaching and learning programs. This shows that curriculum design and implementation is a dynamic and contextually-specific process. This planner represents one way to map requirements and it contains:

• instructions for how it could be used by English teachers and faculties
• direct links to policies and useful resources.

Ways to use this template

• Complete the planning as a faculty or course or stage coordination team.

• Upload the document to a shared drive as a ‘live’ document and evaluate the plans at key points throughout the year.
• Cross-reference the plans against the content within teaching and learning programs or units, scope and sequences, assessment schedules, assessment notifications and student resources.
• Keep a copy of this document in a folder or drive for each stage or course.

Detailed implementation information including key features and resources is available on the Syllabus development page (NESA).
