1 Course overview

1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Rationale The knowledge, understanding and skills taught through Health and Physical Education enable students to explore and enhance their own and others’ health and physical activity in diverse and changing contexts. Development of the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual capacities necessary in the strands of movement and physical activity, and personal, social and community health are key components of the P–10 Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education. They provide the foundations for learning and alignment to the QCAA Physical Education and Health senior syllabuses, to build increasingly complex and developmental courses of study in the senior years.

The subject area of Physical Education incorporates a futures focus relevant to the demands of 21st century learners in the study of physical activity. Over the course of study, units use engagement in physical activity learning contexts to investigate the biophysical, sociocultural and psychological bases of physical activity, and explore their applications to performance. Students in Physical Education learn experientially through a process of inquiry, initiated by questions that make connections between the subject matter and physical activity. Physical activity learning contexts are a medium and context for deep learning. Students make informed decisions relevant to specific questions and validate their decisions with evidence to justify strategies. Intelligent performance in physical activity learning contexts demonstrates the interconnectedness and holistic conceptualisation of the bases of physical activity.

Purposeful learning and teaching takes place through an integrated approach, deeply embedded in physical activity learning contexts. Units examine topics underpinning the enhancement of performance, including sport psychology, movement and motor learning, tactical awareness, equity and integrity, and training and physical activity. This learning involves students’ engagement with specific questions to retrieve and comprehend knowledge, and implement, analyse and evaluate specialised movement sequences and strategies to make decisions to enhance individual and team performance about, through and in physical activity learning contexts.

Students engage in physical activity learning contexts to develop critical thinking, creative thinking, ethical thinking, cross-cultural awareness, communication, personal and social skills, collaboration and teamwork, and information and communication technologies skills to enhance performance. Learning in physical activity provides opportunities for students to directly acquire knowledge, understanding and capabilities through considered engagement in rich and diverse forms of physical activity. Physical Education fosters an appreciation of the values and knowledge within and across the disciplines, and builds on students’ capacities to be self-directed, work towards specific goals and develop a lifelong relationship with physical activity.

1.1.3 Course structure Physical Education is a course of study consisting of four units. Subject matter, learning experiences and assessment increase in complexity from Units 1 and 2 to Units 3 and 4 as students develop greater independence as learners.

Units 1 and 2 provide foundational learning, which allows students to experience all syllabus objectives and begin engaging with the course subject matter. Students should complete Units 1 and 2 before beginning Unit 3. It is recommended that Unit 3 be completed before Unit 4.

Units 3 and 4 consolidate student learning. Only the results from Units 3 and 4 will contribute to ATAR calculations.

Figure 2 outlines the structure of this course of study.

Each unit has been developed with a notional time of 55 hours of teaching and learning, including assessment.

1.2 Teaching and learning 1.2.1 Syllabus objectives The syllabus objectives outline what students have the opportunity to learn. Assessment provides evidence of how well students have achieved the objectives.

Syllabus objectives inform unit objectives, which are contextualised for the subject matter and requirements of the unit. Unit objectives, in turn, inform the assessment objectives, which are further contextualised for the requirements of the assessment instruments. The number of each objective remains constant at all levels, i.e. Syllabus objective 1 relates to Unit objective 1 and to Assessment objective 1 in each assessment instrument.

Syllabus objectives are described in terms of actions that operate on the subject matter. Students are required to use a range of cognitive processes in order to demonstrate and meet the syllabus objectives. These cognitive processes are described in the explanatory paragraph following each objective in terms of four levels: retrieval, comprehension, analytical processes (analysis) and knowledge utilisation, with each process building on the previous processes (see Marzano & Kendall 2007, 2008). That is, comprehension requires retrieval, and knowledge utilisation requires retrieval, comprehension and analytical processes (analysis).

By the conclusion of the course of study, students will:

1. recognise and explain concepts and strategies

When students recognise, they identify and recall concepts and strategies related to a physical activity learning context. When students explain, they give an account, including reasons or causes, and identify relationships between concepts and strategies to respond to a specific question from a physical activity learning context.

2. implement concepts and strategies to achieve a particular purpose

When students implement, they put body and movement concepts and strategies into effect in response to a situation or circumstance from a physical activity learning context.

3. categorise and organise data

When students categorise, they classify and sort primary and secondary performance data related to body and movement concepts and strategies. When students organise, they create order or arrange information into interdependent or coordinated parts to form a whole.

4. analyse and critique data related to concepts and strategies

When students analyse, they identify, break down and examine methodically in order to find meaning or relationships between performance data, and body and movement concepts and strategies. When students critique, they review performance data and information relevant to specific questions in a physical activity learning context in a critical, detailed and purposeful way.

5. synthesise data to develop strategies

When students synthesise, they combine different types of performance data to establish or obtain facts, in order to create new understandings that inform the development of relevant strategies.

6. evaluate strategies

When students evaluate, they make an appraisal, weighing up strengths, possible implications and limitations of strategies. They make judgments about the strategies.

7. make decisions to modify strategies

When students make decisions, they weigh up positives and negatives and consider alternatives to modify strategies in physical activity learning contexts. When students modify, they refine by making partial or minor changes to the strategies.

8. justify decisions about strategies

When students justify decisions about strategies, they give valid reasons and provide evidence from primary and secondary data to support their decisions.

9. make decisions about and use mode-appropriate features, language and conventions for particular purposes and contexts

When students make decisions about mode-appropriate features and conventions, they use written, visual and spoken features to express meaning for particular purposes in a range of contexts. Written communication features include language conventions, specific vocabulary and language features such as annotations, paragraphs, and sentences. Visual communication features include video, images, drawings and diagrams. Spoken communication features include verbal and nonverbal features such as strategic talk, action statements or instructional messages that may be for live or virtual audiences.

1.2.2 Underpinning factors There are three skill sets that underpin senior syllabuses and are essential for defining the distinctive nature of subjects:

• literacy — the set of knowledge and skills about language and texts essential for understanding and conveying Physical Education content

• numeracy — the knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions that students need to use mathematics in a wide range of situations, to recognise and understand the role of mathematics in the world, and to develop the dispositions and capacities to use mathematical knowledge and skills purposefully

• 21st century skills — the attributes and skills students need to prepare them for higher education, work and engagement in a complex and rapidly changing world.

These skill sets, which overlap and interact, are derived from current education, industry and community expectations. They encompass the knowledge, skills, capabilities, behaviours and dispositions that will help students live and work successfully in the 21st century.

Together these three skill sets shape the development of senior subject syllabuses. Although coverage of each skill set may vary from syllabus to syllabus, students should be provided with opportunities to learn through and about these skills over the course of study. Each skill set contains identifiable knowledge and skills that can be directly assessed.

Literacy in Physical Education Ongoing systematic teaching and learning focused on the literacy knowledge and skills specific to Physical Education is essential for student achievement.

Students need to learn and use knowledge and skills of reading, viewing and listening to understand and learn the content of Physical Education. Students need to learn and use the knowledge and skills of writing, composing and speaking to convey the Physical Education content they have learnt.

To understand and use Physical Education content, teaching and learning strategies include:

• making meaning of Physical Education language and texts

• comprehending language and texts to make literal and inferred meanings about biophysical, socio-cultural and psychological content

• using Physical Education ideas and information in classroom, real-world and/or lifelike contexts to progress their own learning.

To analyse and evaluate Physical Education content, teaching and learning strategies include:

• accessing the varied and changing Physical Education modes of content delivery

• making conclusions about the purpose and audience of Physical Education language and texts

• interpreting and analysing the ways language is used to convey ideas and information in Physical Education texts

• transforming language and texts to convey Physical Education ideas and information in particular ways to suit audience and purpose.

These aspects of literacy knowledge and skills are embedded in the syllabus objectives, unit objectives and subject matter, and instrument-specific marking guides (ISMGs) for Physical Education.

Numeracy in Physical Education Although much of the explicit teaching of numeracy skills occurs in Mathematics, being numerate involves using mathematical skills across the curriculum. Therefore, numeracy development is an essential component of teaching and learning across the curriculum, and a responsibility for all teachers.

Physical Education provides students with opportunities to:

• use calculation, estimation and measurement to collect qualitative and quantitative data and information

• use spatial reasoning to apply concepts and implement strategies for a range of different individual and team physical activity learning contexts

• analyse, interpret and critique valid data using statistical reasoning, identifying patterns and relationships to consider trends

• synthesise a combination of different types of information and data to create new knowledge and draw conclusions to make decisions to inform specific strategies.

These aspects of numeracy knowledge and skills are embedded in the syllabus objectives, unit objectives and subject matter, and ISMGs for Physical Education.

1.2.3 Aboriginal perspectives and Torres Strait Islander perspectives

The QCAA is committed to reconciliation in Australia. As part of its commitment, the QCAA affirms that:

• Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the first Australians, and have the oldest living cultures in human history

• Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples have strong cultural traditions and speak diverse languages and dialects, other than Standard Australian English

• teaching and learning in Queensland schools should provide opportunities for students to deepen their knowledge of Australia by engaging with the perspectives of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples

• positive outcomes for Aboriginal students and Torres Strait Islander students are supported by successfully embedding Aboriginal perspectives and Torres Strait Islander perspectives across planning, teaching and assessing student achievement.

Guidelines about Aboriginal perspectives and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and resources for teaching are available at www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/k-12-policies/aboriginal-torres-strait-islander-perspectives.

The Physical Education syllabus recognises Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their traditions, histories and experiences, prior to colonisation through to the present time. This acknowledgment strengthens student understanding and appreciation of the First Peoples of Australia. Relevant sections of the syllabus identify subject matter and strategies that can be drawn upon to encourage engagement with frameworks of knowledge and ways of learning, cultural contexts in which Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples live, and their contributions to Australian society and culture.

Embedding Aboriginal perspectives and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in curriculum is more than just attaching it onto existing content and objectives (Blair 2015). Blair suggested five ideas in considering the embedding of Aboriginal perspectives and Torres Strait Islander perspectives:

1. Teachers are challenged to reflect on the context in which they teach, and why they teach — both professionally and personally.

2. Teachers need to understand the differences between Indigenous Knowings and Western knowledge.

3. Teachers must acknowledge the legacy and stories of our shared Australian histories.

4. Story is one of the salient cornerstones of Indigenous Knowing and is important to the teaching process.

5. Process is as important as content.

In Physical Education, there is opportunity to explore Aboriginal games and Torres Strait Islander games as a medium for learning.

The resilience and determination of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples can be enhanced through the inquiry process. The pedagogical approach using inquiry learning about, through and in physical activities also complements the interconnections within Aboriginal ways and Torres Strait Islander ways of learning, knowing and working.

1.2.4 Pedagogical and conceptual frameworks Students in Physical Education learn first-hand, through an inquiry process that makes explicit the integration of engagement in physical activity and specific subject matter (see Figure 3). This experiential approach provides opportunities for students to make meaning of the cognitive and psychomotor processes of physical activity learning contexts (Hay 2006).

Students engage in inquiry and strength-based learning that enables effective integration of authentic experiences with physical activity to investigate subject matter (Stolz 2014). This learning provides opportunities to evaluate and make decisions using the three domains of knowledge: information, mental procedures and psychomotor procedures (Marzano & Kendall 2008). These informed decisions, established through purposeful learning, assist students to enhance their own and others’ performance.

Arnold’s seminal concepts (1979, 1985, 1988) provide a philosophical and educative framework to promote deep learning about, through and in physical activity (Brown & Penney 2012; Stolz & Thorburn 2015). These three concepts of learning in the field of Physical Education are dynamic and not mutually exclusive. They are interrelated and provide a holistic conceptualisation of physical activity and learning (Hay and Penney 2013). Each concept overlaps and shares interdependence with the others, and are key to learning within the disciplines and sub-disciplines of Physical Education.

Figure 3: A physically educated student

The three concepts described as follows inform the learning and teaching of subject matter in this syllabus:

• Learning about physical activity is concerned with theoretical knowledge about the richness and diversity of movement (Arnold 1979). This knowledge assists students to apply their learning to real-life situations, to evaluate data, concepts and strategies in order to enhance performance. Students build confidence and competence in knowledge, skills, capacities and attitudes about biophysical, psychological and sociocultural bases associated with their experiences in physical activity learning contexts.

• Learning through physical activity is associated with the development of personal, intellectual and social skills to engage purposefully in physical activity. This engagement allows opportunity for students to transform passive or abstract concepts into meaningful experiences to further develop knowledge and understanding (Arnold 1979). Students develop their own capacities and personalise their learning by working independently and collaboratively, through physical activity, to develop personal and social skills such as teamwork and ethical

behaviours. They understand and critique their learning in order to enhance performance through physical activity learning contexts.

• Learning in physical activity is experiential and intrinsically values movement development in all its varied forms (Stolz 2014). Learning in physical activity explores the sensations of the body in physical activity, its enjoyment and appreciation. Students develop their knowledge and capacities in the biophysical, psychological and sociocultural bases of physical activity to become cognisant of the capacities of their own bodies, to enrich and develop greater understanding in order to enhance performance in physical activity learning contexts.

An inquiry approach involves a method of learning, initiated by questions. This involves the personal construction of a student’s own knowledge and resources — that is, knowledge and resources that are new to the student. Inquiry learning requires an active approach to teacher-facilitated learning where students have the central role.

The key stages in the inquiry process used in Physical Education are:

• Engage and initiate: Students recognise and explain by considering a specific question in a physical activity learning context to determine what they need to know. They construct meaning and initiate procedures through active and purposeful engagement with the question. Students recognise, explain and demonstrate their learning based on the gathering of valid and reliable information and data.

• Devise and implement: Students categorise and organise data by classifying and sorting the information and data in order to devise and implement strategies in response to the question. Students are provided with the opportunity to implement their learning in a physical activity learning context to enhance performance. They observe and document their findings from the implementation of purposeful strategies.

• Analyse and decide: Students analyse and critique their findings to make decisions about strategies based on authentic experiences in physical activity learning contexts. They synthesise a combination of different types of information and data to create new understanding and draw conclusions about the most appropriate response to the specific question. This decision-making process uses both declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge to manipulate and modify the strategy for enhanced performance.

• Validate and reflect: Students manipulate information from primary and secondary data to evaluate and reflect on their strategy and decisions. They formulate valid evidence to make and justify the refinements to their strategy and decisions in order to enhance performance.

Communication underpins the four stages of inquiry. As students advance in their inquiry, they develop more meaning about previous understandings and inquiry decisions to effectively communicate for particular purposes and contexts (Marzano & Kendall 2007).

Teaching for inquiry and teaching through inquiry When teaching through an inquiry approach in Physical Education, students are presented with a specific question to generate focus questions relating to the physical activity learning context. Through informed decision-making, students are able to develop new understanding and specialised movement concepts in the biophysical, psychological and sociocultural bases of physical activity. This requires an explicit and connected approach to teaching inquiry that necessitates fluency of critical facts and processes at each step.

The inquiry process uses a set of skills that develop in sophistication and independence over the course of study in Physical Education. When teaching inquiry skills, teachers should consider teaching for inquiry and teaching through inquiry. When teaching for inquiry in Physical Education, students are taught a set of inquiry skills. These include how to:

• devise questions

• research using the internet and search filters

• examine for validity and reliability

• record information and data

• analyse and process information and data in order to find meaning between relationships, patterns and trends

• synthesise ideas and findings

• evaluate using criteria and make decisions about strategies

• communicate findings through visual, spoken and written modes.

Engagement in physical activity learning contexts and integration of subject matter In Physical Education, engagement in individual and team physical activity learning contexts is essential. The engagement in a range of physical activity learning contexts will assist in the development of intelligent performance, encouraging deep learning and transfer and refinement of specialised movement sequences, strategies and concepts. Students are provided with opportunities, based in movement, to gather evidence of their cognitive and psychomotor learning. This deep learning enables students to evaluate, manipulate and refine strategies to enhance performance of themselves and others.

Students are not passive recipients of knowledge; instead, learning takes place through experiential and dynamic engagement with subject matter through hands-on work in physical activity. This integration is made explicit in the unit objectives, subject matter and assessment objectives, and informs the implementation of the syllabus.

Physical activity learning contexts enable students to learn about the subject matter through authentic participation in physical activity, classroom-based activities, field studies, laboratories, excursions, community events, technology-enhanced learning tasks and outside-school experiences. Learning opportunities relate to the experiences of self and others to enable students to make meaning of complex understandings through connections with real-life contexts. From this basis of understanding of performance, students can apply their learning to increasingly diverse and less familiar circumstances to make decisions and draw conclusions about specific questions in different physical activity learning contexts.

1.2.5 Subject matter Subject matter is the body of information, mental procedures and psychomotor procedures (see Marzano & Kendall 2007, 2008) that are necessary for students’ learning and engagement with Physical Education. It is particular to each unit in the course of study and provides the basis for student learning experiences.

Subject matter has a direct relationship to the unit objectives, but is of a finer granularity and is more specific. These statements of learning are constructed in a similar way to objectives. Each statement:

• describes an action (or combination of actions) — what the student is expected to do

• describes the element — expressed as information, mental procedures and/or psychomotor procedures

• is contextualised for the topic or circumstance particular to the unit.

1.3 Assessment — general information Assessments are formative in Units 1 and 2, and summative in Units 3 and 4.

Assessment Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4

Formative assessments ● ● ⚪ ⚪

Summative internal assessment 1 ⚪ ⚪ ● ⚪

Summative internal assessment 2 ⚪ ⚪ ● ⚪

Summative internal assessment 3 ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ●

Summative external assessment ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ●

1.3.1 Formative assessments — Units 1 and 2 Formative assessments provide feedback to both students and teachers about each student’s progress in the course of study.

Schools develop internal assessments for each senior subject, based on the learning described in Units 1 and 2 of the subject syllabus. Each unit objective must be assessed at least once in each unit.

For reporting purposes, schools should devise at least two but no more than four assessments for Units 1 and 2 of this subject. At least one assessment must be completed for each unit.

The sequencing, scope and scale of assessments for Units 1 and 2 are matters for each school to decide and should reflect the local context.

Teachers are encouraged to use the A–E descriptors in the reporting standards (Section 1.5) to provide formative feedback to students and to report on progress.

1.3.2 Summative assessments — Units 3 and 4 Students will complete a total of four summative assessments — three internal and one external — that count towards their final mark in each subject.

Schools develop three internal assessments for each senior subject, based on the learning described in Units 3 and 4 of the syllabus.

The three summative internal assessments will be endorsed and the results confirmed by the QCAA. These results will be combined with a single external assessment developed and marked by the QCAA. The external assessment results for Physical Education will contribute 25% towards a student’s result.

Summative internal assessment — instrument-specific marking guides This syllabus provides ISMGs for the three summative internal assessments in Units 3 and 4.

The ISMGs describe the characteristics evident in student responses and align with the identified assessment objectives. Assessment objectives are drawn from the unit objectives and are contextualised for the requirements of the assessment instrument.

Criteria

Each ISMG groups assessment objectives into criteria. An assessment objective may appear in multiple criteria, or in a single criterion of an assessment.

Making judgments

Assessment evidence of student performance in each criterion is matched to a performance-level descriptor, which describes the typical characteristics of student work.

Where a student response has qualities from more than one performance level, a ‘best-fit’ approach is used. Where a performance level has a two-mark range, it must be decided if the ‘best fit’ is the higher or lower mark of the range.

Authentication

Schools and teachers must have strategies in place for ensuring that work submitted for internal summative assessment is the student’s own. Authentication strategies outlined in QCAA guidelines, which include guidance for drafting, scaffolding and teacher feedback, must be adhered to.

Summative external assessment The summative external assessment adds valuable evidence of achievement to a student’s profile. External assessment is:

• common to all schools

• administered under the same conditions at the same time and on the same day

• developed and marked by the QCAA according to a commonly applied marking scheme.

The external assessment contributes 25% to the student’s result in Physical Education. It is not privileged over the school-based assessment.

4.12.2 Summative internal assessment 2: Performance folio (25%) This assessment is the demonstration of a range of cognitive and technical processes and skills, and the application of conceptual understandings, through the psychomotor domain. It involves the collection of evidence about a student’s learning in performance in Physical Education. The performance folio requires the gathering of evidence of a student’s demonstration and application of specialised movement sequences, strategies and the principles of play during a conditioned game.

This assessment is administered over time and involves class and students’ own time.

Assessment objectives This assessment technique is used to determine student achievement in the following objectives:

2. implement prescribed specialised movement sequences, principles of play and strategies from a conditioned game

3. categorise and organise performance data related to prescribed specialised movement sequences, principles of play and strategies from a conditioned game

4. analyse and critique performance data related to prescribed specialised movement sequences, principles of play and strategies from a conditioned game

5. synthesise performance data related to prescribed specialised movement sequences and principles of play to develop strategies

6. evaluate prescribed specialised movement sequences and strategies

7. make decisions to modify strategies to enhance performance

8. justify decisions about strategies to enhance performance

9. make decisions about and use mode-appropriate features, language and conventions to communicate ideas and information.

Note: Objective 1 is not assessed in this instrument.

Specifications

Description

Students implement specialised body and movement concepts, the principles of play and strategies in one prescribed physical activity during a conditioned game.

They collect evidence of their performance in the selected physical activity to demonstrate the assessment objectives.

The one prescribed physical activity must be selected from the following list:

• badminton • basketball • futsal • netball

• tennis • touch • volleyball • water polo.

The performance folio is multimodal, using two or more communication modes within the same response, where all modes are attended to as part of making meaning.

The performance folio must include digital capture of two strategies using specialised movement sequences and principles of play to enhance performance in the conditioned game. Students select strategies to enhance their performance. Therefore, student-devised strategies should address the student’s personal performance data in the context of the team or individual physical activity.

Digital capture requires the gathering of visual evidence over a period of time. Students and teachers should implement the inquiry process — engage and initiate, devise and implement, analyse and decide, and validate and reflect — to guide the capture of digital evidence.

Digital evidence must include video and may be supported by still images, screenshots, annotations and diagrams. Students capture evidence of their performance in a physical activity:

• demonstrating two strategies using specialised movement sequences and principles of play in the conditioned game (at the commencement of the unit)

• demonstrating refined execution of the two strategies to enhance performance, based on relevant principles of play, using specialised movement sequences in the conditioned game.

Written or spoken evidence must include:

• analysis and critique of performance data from the execution of prescribed specialised movement sequences and strategies based on relevant principles of play in the conditioned game, e.g. data from the GPAI, teacher feedback, peer feedback and other performance data, such as checklists and secondary data

• evaluation of the execution of devised strategies in the conditioned game based on relevant principles of play

• decisions that informed the refinement of strategies to enhance performance in the conditioned game

• justification of decisions about the refined strategies to enhance performance in the conditioned game.

Multimodal presentations can be delivered via different media or technologies. A variety of technologies can be used in the creation or presentation of the response.

This presentation does not have to be performed or conducted in front of the class or the teacher. For example, a multimodal presentation might be prerecorded and submitted to the teacher electronically.

Other examples of a multimodal presentation for this instrument include:

• a digital portfolio of video, images and diagrams with annotations or commentary documenting the response

• a slideshow or animation documenting the visual and written or spoken response

• a multimedia movie that may combine images, video, sound, text and a narrative voice.

Scaffolding

Scaffolding should provide prompts and cues to inform students about the requirements for their response, and align with internal assessment instrument specifications. Scaffolding does not lead to a predetermined response.

5 Unit 4: Energy, training and physical activity

5.1 Unit description In Unit 4, students engage with concepts and strategies associated with exercise physiology. Students apply their knowledge through active engagement in selected physical activity learning contexts. They use primary and secondary data gathered in these learning contexts to develop strategies from specific questions. They make and validate their own decisions about specific physiological strategies to enhance their own and others’ training and performance in specific team physical activities.

The learning for this unit is organised into two separate and interrelated topics, as outlined below. Both topics are of equal importance in providing students with the knowledge and processes of the unit.

Unit requirements Students collect performance data in one prescribed physical activity to demonstrate the assessment objectives.

The one prescribed physical activity must be selected from the following list: badminton, basketball, futsal, netball, tennis, touch, volleyball, water polo.

It is the responsibility of schools, principals and teachers to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of students, staff and others involved in all curriculum activities at schools or other locations. Refer to your curriculum activity risk management procedures for establishing processes prior to implementation of curriculum activities.
