All students are entitled to participate in and progress through the curriculum. Schools are required to provide additional support or adjustments to teaching, learning and assessment activities for some students with disability. Adjustments are measures or actions taken in relation to teaching, learning and assessment that enable a student with disability to access syllabus outcomes and content, and demonstrate achievement of outcomes.
Students with disability can access outcomes and content from Stage 6 syllabuses in a range of ways. Students may engage with:
- Stage 6 syllabus outcomes and content with adjustments to teaching, learning and/or assessment activities; or
- selected Stage 6 Life Skills syllabus outcomes and content from one or more Stage 6 Life Skills syllabuses.
Decisions regarding curriculum options, including adjustments, should be made in the context of collaborative curriculum planning with the student, parent/carer and other significant individuals to ensure that decisions are appropriate for the learning needs and priorities of individual students.
EAL/D students are simultaneously learning a new language and the knowledge, understanding and skills of the English Extension Stage 6 Syllabus through that new language. They may require additional support, along with informed teaching that explicitly addresses their language needs.
The ESL Scales and the English as an Additional Language or Dialect: Teacher Resource provide information about the English language development phases of EAL/D students. These materials and other resources can be used to support the specific needs of English language learners and to assist students to access syllabus outcomes and content.
