The Green Lane Diary draws from the National Curriculum and
Sustainability Curriculum Framework, and is produced to complement
the Australian Curriculum general capabilities and fulfil
cross-curriculum priorities.
The diary is not a prescriptive program and is most effective
when used in a cross disciplinary manner in conjunction with a
range of learning experiences in your classroom. The program is
delivered in Term 3 each year and is aligned with the ten-week
school curriculum.
The diary can be used by teachers to achieve outcomes set out in
State and Territory frameworks.
The Australian Curriculum pays explicit attention to how seven
general capabilities and three cross curriculum
priorities contribute to, and can be developed through,
teaching in each learning area.
The seven general capabilities are:
- Literacy
- Numeracy
- Information and communication technology
competence
- Critical and creative thinking
- Ethical behaviour
- Personal and social competence
- Intercultural understanding.
The three cross-curriculum priorities
are:
- Sustainability
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and
cultures
- Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia.
