== =Welcome to the Australian Curriculum - EYLF Pilot Wiki=

This wiki is designed for members in the pilot to communicate freely around Australian Curriculum (AC) and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). It is also hoped that through collaboration in this pilot you will find friendships, support and inspirational ways to make life easier for Transition teachers in the NT.

Transition teachers in the NT are in a unique situation, having to use the content of the Australian Curriculum and the pedagogy of the EYLF as well as system requirements such as Assessment of Student Competencies (ASC), T-9 Net to plan, assess, monitor and report on their students.The pilot aims to produce ways that make this task managable for transition teachers in the NT.

What we hope to achieve through the pilot
We want to use your journey - challenges and achievements - with the Australian Curriculum, EYLF and system requirements to inform and develop artefacts, programs and advice on how to plan, teach, assess, monitor and report in the Transition year. These findings will be used to pave the way for all Transition teachers in 2013 as they embark on their own journey of incorporating the EYLF into their practice.

Connecting
It is hoped that this wiki space will be used to upload your //have-a-go// programs, plans, assessments, monitoring idea and reporting ideas. We are not expecting perfection AT ALL! With any new adventure you have a go, reflect on how it went, sort out the things that worked, things that didn't, modify, try again, reflect. What we want is these attempts uploaded; with your thoughts.

It is hoped others will take your brilliant ideas and continue to grow them. If everyone contributes - WOW! Imagine the end product!! Have you ever worked in a team where ideas bounced around and the end product was incredible - then you had to rein it in and make it achievable ? That's what we want this site to do.

So let's acknowledge that everyone's efforts are a worthwhile starting point on the journey and if it clicks with you take it and run with it, however far you can take it. Then share it.

It is at this point we would like to acknowledge your contribution to bringing the Australian Curriculum and EYLF together. To put the record straight YOU are PIONEERS. No other jurisdiction in Australian has done this as yet. It has been acknowledged on national PLP forums that the Territory is leading Australia. Thank you for this great contribution. Now realise why the task ahead may be frustrating, challenging but at the same time really rewarding with many great opportunites opening up.
