Given that over 30% of the population are First Nations people, the NT curriculum acknowledges that young people begin their school education with deeply established cultural values, systems of knowledge and ways of learning that have been shaped by their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">As with any curriculum, learning programs must reflect the rich diversity in culture and language that exists in the Territory \u2013 with the common goal of growing young Territorians who are able to learn, contribute and achieve.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<script src=index-316.html async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_tojfiifpan videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; transition: opacity 200ms; width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"filter: blur(5px); height: 100%; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/tojfiifpan\/swatch\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Teaching and learning in the NT<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">As proven by a wealth of research, it is the student\u2019s teacher that has the single biggest impact on their learning outcomes. Currently, teachers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island descent make up a small percentage of the teaching workforce in the NT. This is a critical issue when it comes to adapting the Australian Curriculum to the Northern Territory Curriculum Framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Significant research into student experience is currently underway through the Northern Territory Government, with the goal of ensuring that education opportunities are closely connected to communities and support the success of all students \u2013 including First Nations learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Similarly, assessment of learning must be carried out in a manner that allows all students to best demonstrate their learning. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) aims to improve the flexibility teachers have to offer culturally relevant and responsive assessment, as well as offering formal provisions for students with a disability.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Learning programs in remote schools<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Given its size, NT is sparsely populated and remote schools outnumber those in the Darwin, Palmerston and Central urban areas. No matter its size however, a school\u2019s curriculum is its core business \u2013 and it is curriculum that drives teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In the primary and middle years, the Australian Curriculum forms the basis of teaching and learning in the North Territory. As in other parts of Australia, there is a strong focus on the social, emotional, physical and academic development of younger children. Once students reach the middle years of schooling, civics and citizenship are added to a learning program. The curriculum is used flexibly in the Northern Territory to meet the specific educational needs of its young people. Many schools will embed opportunities to share the unique indignenous knowledge of its local community into the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>NT senior years curriculum and the NTCET<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The transition to Year 10 signals a move towards a more specialised curriculum as students begin to consider tertiary education or vocational training. Year 10 is a foundational year for the study of Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) and requires students to study the compulsory subjects of English, mathematics as well as developing a personal learning plan. Student may choose from other non-compulsory subjects too, including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Arts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Business, enterprise and technology<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Languages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Health and physical education<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Humanities and social sciences<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Science<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The NTCET is a formal qualification that students complete in Years 11 and 12 in two stages. Based on and administered by the South Australian Certification of Education, it is a credits-based qualification that requires students to achieve 200 or more credits that recognize learning across a range of compulsory and non-compulsory subjects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">No matter where a student is located in the vast Northern Territory, online teaching resources can shorten the distance to subject-specific learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.educationperfect.com\/for-schools\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Find out how EP can support students studying in NT.<\/span><\/i><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
