NSW Department of Education

"Board of Studies"

Year Level: All, Teacher resource
Access: Internet

SUMMARY
The NSW Board of Studies has a very comprehensive website and takes some time to look through. In the 'All NSW Syllabuses' tab is all the information of the KLA's including support materials. There are several KLA's to sort through, however, the most relevant is 'Design and Technology.' The advice on planning and assessment contain sample units of work that can be adapted to suit the Queensland curriculum.

EVALUATION
Very difficult to navigate due to it's comprehensive nature. Once information is sourced, it is a good website for teachers to use to see what type of planning, teaching and assessing is being done in other states. The Design and Technology KLA outlines similar features to that of the QSA requirements, therefore, unit plans can be easily adapted.

RATING
* * * * * Excellent
