Engaging young Australians with Asia

The purpose of the Asia Scope and Sequence for Studies of Society and Environment is to:

  • articulate key curriculum concepts and content across the compulsory years of schooling (up to Year 10)
  • provide advice and support to teachers of SOSE in their efforts to engage young Australians with Asia
  • point teachers to existing resources that help students learn about Asia in the SOSE classroom.

The aim is to identify opportunities for SOSE teachers to introduce or strengthen engagement with Asia. It does not require additions to content or curriculum.

Introduction

Read about the rationale for an Asia-literate school in the National Statement for Engaging Young Australians with Asia in Australian Schools.

 

The purpose of the Asia Scope and Sequence for Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) is to:

  • articulate key curriculum concepts and content across the compulsory years of schooling (to year 10);
  • provide advice and support to teachers of Studies of Society and Environment in order to facilitate their efforts to engage young Australians with Asia; and
  • point teachers to existing exemplary resources that allow students to engage with Asia in the Studies of Society and Environment classroom.

 

The aim is to identify opportunities for teachers within Studies of Society and Environment to introduce or strengthen engagement with Asia, as opposed to requiring additions to content or approach.
