The resources provided within this section will help principals learn about the Australian Curriculum requirements and assist with the implementation if you have little or no experience with curriculum change.

- what are we teaching?
- how are we teaching?
- why are we teaching that?
- why do we do what we do?
- what are the students expected to learn?
- how do we know they are learning?
Activities
Leadership of curriculum change management includes putting structures, resources and dedicated time and space in place, as well as measures to evaluate the success of your curriculum implementation. Principals need to critically reflect on their and others' achievements in terms of improving teaching and learning.
Within this section you will find resources to help you align professional learning with the school's educational goals and priorities. It will provide links to activities that assist in identifying structures and processes to support professional learning and tools for planning for professional learning.
Professional learning can improve the understanding of the Australian Curriculum by :
- connecting with the evidence base of teacher impacts on student learning
- balancing a whole school approach to implementation with the individual teacher and team interests and needs
- identifying well-evidenced pedagogical practices
- using data to inform practices in a cycle of inquiry.
Activities within leading teaching and learning, provide practical ideas across the curriculum or in particular areas.

Curriculum improvement starts with leadership that provides clarity about :
- what we want our school to look and feel like.
- what it means for how we go about doing this.
- what we want our parents to feel about our school.
- how we will work in true partnership.
The resources provided here will help you to involve parents in understanding the curriculum and share understandings and practices in partnerships with schools and others.
