Structure of the religious education curriculum
The Brisbane Catholic Education Religious Education Curriculum is designed around four interrelated strands: Sacred Texts, Beliefs, Church and Christian Life.
Planning for the classroom learning and teaching of religion at Christ The King strives to balance and integrate all four strands as well as incorporating a rich and authentic link with the religious life of the school.
Keeping to a similar structure as the Australian Curriculum the Brisbane Catholic Education Religious Education Curriculum includes and achievement standard and content descriptions for each year level.
Content Descriptions
The Religion Curriculum P-12 includes content descriptions at each year level. These set out the religious knowledge, deep understanding and skills that teachers are expected to teach and students are expected to learn. The content descriptions have been written to ensure that learning is appropriately ordered and that unnecessary repetition is avoided. However, a concept or skill introduced at one year level may be revisited, strengthened and extended at later year levels as needed.
Achievement Standards
Achievement standards indicate the quality of learning that students should typically demonstrate by a particular point in their schooling. An achievement standard describes the quality of learning (the extent of knowledge, the depth of understanding, and the sophistication of skills) that would indicate the student is well placed to commence the learning required at the next level of achievement. The sequence of achievement standards describes progress in the learning area. This sequence provides teachers with a framework for growth and development in the learning area. Across Prep to Year 10, achievement standards are accompanied by sets of annotated student work samples that illustrate actual achievement in relation to the achievement standard.
