Write an essay on The Australian Curriculum In this task, you are asked to think deeply about what a curriculum is and the role that it plays in society. You are asked to think about what it means to ‘know’ and whose knowledge is endorsed as ‘worthy’ of knowing as determined by what’s in and what’s not in the Australian curriculum. Specifically, you are asked to reflect on the material from Module 1 and write a short essay that describes the Australian Curriculum. In your response, you may find the following questions helpful to guide your thinking: – What historical context has informed the current Australian curriculum? – What key policy documents inform the Australian curriculum? – What perspectives are privileged in the curriculum (that is, – Whose ideas of what knowledge is worthy are represented in the curriculum and whose are not)
