Curriculum Knowledge
Curriculum is everything, both planned and
unplanned, that happens in your
classroom. Planned curriculum is based on the
knowledge that governments and school systems
require you to teach. This is presented as
syllabus documents. Syllabus documents provide
you with detail about what you need to teach to
your students depending on their age and stage.
In NSW there are six syllabus documents in the
Key Learning Areas of English, Mathematics,
Creative Arts, Personal Development, Health and
Physical Education (PDHPE), Science and Human
Society in its Environment (HSIE).

Unplanned curriculum is often referred to as the
hidden curriculum. These are things you are
teaching in your classroom or school without
necessarily meaning to (hence the hidden
curriculum). For example if you tell/accept
racist jokes or sexist comments, you are teaching
your students that this is ok, while also
excluding the butt of the joke/comment. Another
example is how you deal with bullying, which has
the potential to teach your students about forms
of violence and how to deal with them even if
this is not what you are meaning to do. (Ailwood,
2004)
