Our new Learning Curve 2012 User Manual for Teachers will be available to our schools later this term.

The purpose of this user manual is to support teachers to deliver the Living, Learning and Thinking Program using the resources contained in the Learning Curve Planners and on this website. Through detailed plans it is designed to assist teacher wellbeing, reduce workload and help teachers to confidently teach all areas of the Learning Curve Program, whatever their individual strengths may be.

In both the Teachers Planner and this section of the website, teachers are provided with a comprehensive array of resources which enable them to improve their students' qualities as learners and their learning outcomes.

Teachers are well supported in embedding differentiation in their personal pedagogies; with the Learning Curve resources enabling the development of a School Wide Pedagogy.

These resources include: 

  • Detailed Lesson Plans for all the Living, Learning and Thinking Focuses in the Lesson Plan Section
  • Guides for teachers on how best to use the program
  • Capacity building fortnightly Professional Readings in the Professional Reading Section
  • Monthly thematic approaches to teaching the program in the Monthly Theme Section
  • Numerous capacity building Living, Learning, and Thinking tools and Reflection activities in the Teacher Section
  • In the Values for Life Section there are templates for 200 Living, Learning and Thinking Values and attributes for life
