N - Need to know the background knowledge to all of the units of work before teaching them in depth. I will also need to engage the children in the big ideas and need to plan programs around the primary connections texts to ensure that we as teachers understand the core content.
Excites me:
The inquiry and collaborative processes that the new syllabi uses. I also love that it engages students in real-world contexts and has a strong emphasis on experimentation to enable sustained engagement and motivation.
Worries:
I know that some teachers won't adopt these new methods of teaching and will use other less effective methods to engage students. I also worry that some of the outcomes are really 'loaded' with verbs which makes it hard to assess.
Suggestions:
Less sometimes is more when it comes to curriculum and I fear that some of the new changes are quite curriculum driven. I'd suggest that we reduce some of the units and have explicit online activities or Apps that link to them to allow for flexibility in learning.

Need to know - what the students already know, what are their interests, how do they best learn? What big questions and concepts can I use to best design a learning experience that integrates this new syllabus? How do I support students through the changes from a more traditional chalk and talk style of teaching to help them be more active participants? How much do I need to scaffold?

Excitements - The challenge of finding out all of the above answers to ensure I get the learning experience just right. Creating a classroom pedagogy that supports and values genuine inquiry. Motivating and encouraging other teachers to embrace teaching this way and to enjoy the reward of seeing students truly switched on and engaged.

Worries - Although I have been teaching inquiry units for several years as I believe it is best practice, I worry that for some teachers it is such a dramatic change to their pedagogy that they will revert back to old methods. I feel a whole school approach is the only way to go, as we build student inquiry skills together.

Stance - Superb syllabus and truly exciting to see such a collaborative approach to learning, Australia wide.
