| An educator needs to show no bias toward either gender. | Student Diversity – that the needs and interests of students will vary, and that schools and teachers will plan from the curriculum in ways that respond to those needs and interests (ACARA, 2012). |
| Critical analysis of texts and stories to open discussion | Year 3 English – ACELT1596 – Draw connections between personal experiences and the worlds of texts, and share responses with others.
Elaboration – Exploring texts that highlight issues and problems in making moral decisions and discussing these with others (ACARA, 2015). |
| Challenge gender bias in the curriculum content | Personal and Social Capability – Personal and social capability encompasses students’ personal/emotional and social/relational dispositions, intelligences, sensibilities and learning. It develops effective life skills for students, including understanding and handling themselves, their relationships, learning and work (ACARA, 2015). |
The personal and social capability content of the Australian Curriculum could certainly be extended to include an element regarding a students need to understand and accept diversity in the current Australian culture.
