In 2018, NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) released the German K-10 Syllabus.

The support on this page includes sample:

• scope and sequences
• unit starters (units of work)
• assessment tasks, with marking guidelines.

Modify the documents to suit your context, including the needs of your students.

For advice on how to develop your own programming documents, visit our programming and assessment page.
