Intentional conversation 2 • The purpose of this intentional conversation is to: • explore the five curriculum decision‑making processes in the QKLG • examine what these curriculum decision‑making processes might look like in practice • engage in reflection on current decision‑making practices and compare them with the QKLG • extend understandings of the relationship between the decision‑making processes and the decision-making elements.
Key messages of intentional conversation 2 • The key messages to share are: • Teachers commonly use five curriculum decision-making processes. • As teachers engage in these decision-making processes, they consider a number of key elements. • Informed curriculum decision making reflects the principles in the QKLG and contributes to quality learning and teaching.
Conversation process • Skim-read the handout of the decision-making processes. • Select a component of the diagram and jot down an example of what you currently do. • Take turns to explain your example to the group. • Read Figure 2: Informed decision making and compare the ideas with your current practices. • As a whole group, share your comments and insights. • Consider the reflective questions in the diagram and how you might use the decision-making elements.
