About this resource
This resource provides examples of annual, unit and lesson plans aligned with the English learning area, and gives teachers an opportunity to explore the refreshed curriculum content. The plans are optional to use, but offer teachers support in mapping across years, units and lessons, and can be adapted to suit your students’ needs.
A term’s worth of learning kits is currently available. We will continue to add new plans until a full year of teaching is covered.
