[English] National curriculum feedback

[Jan May]

As well as the VATE one on Wednesday which was a great opportunity for conversation, I also attended the Southern Region VCAA forum last night. The power point that David Howes used is available on VCAA website. One point made was that twice as many teachers from NSW have signed up on the Aust Curriculum consultation website. 
So let's have OUR say!

Colleagues,

I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion of the national  
curriculum English draft. The feedback deadine is 23 May.

Is this because everyone is happy with it and we're all falling in  
line, or perhaps are so concerned that words fail us?

I know that various forums have and are being held (by VATE and ALEA  
etc). Has anyone been along to these? What has been the tenor of  
conversation?

I plan on submitting my own response, as I'm sure most of us will, but  
I'm interested to hear your views and collective wisdom.

Cheers
--
Scott
