15 A factsheet for 

publishers, book sellers 

and authors 

In January 2012 Queensland schools commenced 

implementation of the Australian Curriculum. This 

involved students from Prep to Year 10 starting to engage 

in learning and assessment in the Australian Curriculum 

learning areas of English, mathematics and science. 

Education Queensland schools have been provided with 

comprehensive, electronic curriculum planning and 

resource materials — the Curriculum into the classroom 

(C2C) collection. These materials, released in draft and for 

consultation, have been developed to support and guide 

schools’ implementation of the Australian Curriculum. 

The C2C materials consist of planning documents that 

detail the knowledge, understanding and skills that will 

be taught, and that students will have opportunities to 

learn, for each year level. They include detailed lesson 

plans that provide teachers with examples of how they 

might deliver the curriculum. The teaching episodes in 

these plans use extracts from sample print and electronic 

texts, and link to online resources, in order to model ways 

in which the teacher might build student knowledge and 

understanding. These resources are included as examples 

only. Their inclusion does not constitute a promotion or 

endorsement of their use in schools by Education 

Queensland. 

The C2C materials have been designed to provide 

teachers with a starting point for curriculum planning. 

Schools are provided with the flexibility and choice to 

adopt or adapt the materials to suit the learning needs of 

their students and local context. The capacity for teachers 

to customise the C2C materials and to select the texts and 

resources that they will use to deliver the curriculum is 

vital — what is relevant, appropriate and will work in one 

classroom will not necessarily suit another. 

Education Queensland appreciates that publishers, 

booksellers and authors are keen to support teachers in 

their implementation of the new Australian Curriculum by 

having quality Australian books available. The following 

frequently asked questions have been developed to 

inform publishers, booksellers and authors of the C2C 

materials and how they are intended to be used by 

schools. 

If you have a specific query relating to the C2C 

materials that has not been addressed in the 

following FAQs please write to:

Curriculum into the classroom (C2C) — A factsheet for publishers, book sellers and authors 

Education Queensland Version 2, 19 April 2013

Frequently asked questions 

15.1 Can we obtain copies of the book lists 

included in the C2C materials? 

The scope of the C2C project does not extend to 

recommending or endorsing the products and services of 

external providers to schools. A list of the texts that have 

been referred to as examples is available on request. 

There is no list of recommended texts as such, to support 

teachers’ use of the C2C materials. Whilst sample 

teaching episodes provided in lesson plans use extracts 

from print and electronic texts, to model ways in which 

teachers might deliver the curriculum, teachers are not 

required to use them. Instead they are encouraged to 

personalise lesson plans and to use texts and resources 

that: 

• are already available in their school’s collection 

• meet the learning needs and interests of their students 

• align with the expectations of the Australian 

Curriculum. 

The decision as to what texts and resources are best 

suited to support the implementation of the Australian 

Curriculum and student learning is that of the individual 

school, in consultation with their community. 

If schools elect to build on their current text and resource 

collection, they are able to seek advice from, and 

communicate their requirements to, suppliers and 

publishers. 

15.2 Are the C2C materials available for 

publishers, booksellers and authors to 

preview? 

No. 

15.3 Can publishers, booksellers and 

authors have a login and password to 

access the Learning Place website and/or 

OneSchool? 

15.5 Can authors and publishers apply to 

have a particular text/s included in the C2C 

materials? 

The C2C writers are responsible for selecting the texts and 

resources that they use in sample teaching episodes, in 

consultation with teachers. Requests from publishers and 

authors to include references to their products are 

declined to ensure that the Department is not seen to be 

endorsing or promoting the products and services of 

particular suppliers. 

Publishers and distributors have existing mechanisms in 

place to promote their books, authors and services to 

schools — they should continue using these, as they have 

done so in previous years. 

15.6 Schools have been requesting copies 

of books which are now out-of-print. Can 

authors and publishers recommend 

substitutes? 

Substitutes may be recommended to individual schools 

through the school librarian or principal. 

15.7 Is information available to support 

schools’ selection of literary texts, and 

guide publishers and booksellers’ 

suggestions to schools? 

For advice on the selection of literary texts refer to the 

Australian Curriculum website. 

Before selecting texts to support teaching and student 

learning teachers are advised to consult the Content 

descriptions for the Australian Curriculum learning area 

and Year level. Information about the specific knowledge, 

understanding and skills outlined in the Content 

descriptions should be used to inform decisions about the 

appropriateness of texts and resources. 

No. 

15.4 Who can publishers, booksellers and 

authors contact to find out if one of their 

texts is referred to in the C2C materials? 

Publishers, booksellers and authors are able to contact 

C2Cfeedback@deta.qld.gov.au if they wish to enquire 

about the inclusion of a particular text in the C2C 

materials.
