maintain and effectively implement high quality curriculum programs for all
students. The school is committed to developing teacher practices through
professional development focusing on aspects of curriculum implementation,
pedagogy and assessment and the incorporation of a proactive approach to

Effective systematic curriculum delivery at Tinana State
School involves school leaders and teachers using whole school moderation
processes to align curriculum pedagogy, assessment and reporting; and to ensure
consistency of teacher judgements and accuracy of reported results against the
Australian Curriculum (AC) achievement standards. Our teachers align the
teaching, assessing and reporting of the Australian Curriculum through the use
of the Curriculum into the Classroom (C2C) materials.
Our teachers engage in a planning process every term to
develop a shared understanding of the alignment between the curriculum intent,
assessment, teaching and learning sequence, and reporting.
