In System Management : Master Subjects
I have add All subjects from Year 7 to 12
eg.
English, Foundation English, Literature
Mathematics, Foundation Mathematics, General Mathematics (Further), General Mathematics (Specialist), Mathematical Methods (CAS)

Under Description I have added the Department name

Ordered them in Departments and subject chronological order

Then copy them down to Application Management : Master Subjects

Is this close to best practice? Without any guide its hard without an example.

If anyone can give me some heads up on this it would be good.

Thanks

Hi Darren,

Actually what you have done is not quite correct.
The idea of the master subjects is to be able to roll up different "subjects" across time back to a generic "high level" subject. So in your case you would define a master subject of Mathematics, which the likes of Foundation Mathematics, General Mathematics (Further), General Mathematics (Specialist) and Mathematics Methdos (CAS) would be linked to. Over time the various "subjects" under the Mathematics umbrella have changed and the master subject provides that continuim to link all Mathematics related subjects to, so that we can go back and look up John's Mathematics achievements over K-12 and be able to see that.

Hope that helps

So my Master Subjects should be something like

Mathematics
English
Science
Humanities
RE
Music
Drama
Visual Arts
Design
PE
etc.

Hi Darren,

Yep that would be more like the list I would expect to see

How/where do I link a subject/class to a Master subject?

Hi

When you construct a Learning Program each of the heading nodes needs to be associated with a Master Subject. If the LP is based on a part of all of a curriculum framework the master subjects have already been linked in.

Now in Class Manager the students are grouped into target groups, with all students being initially allocated to the Default Group. Each target group is then assoicated with a series of learning gaols from one or more Learning programs. So effectively we now have a link from the student - target group - class - learning goals - LP - master subject.

In a similar way learning goals are linked to an assignment, which is an assessable item of work. As the learning goals link back through learning programs to master subjects, we ned up with an assocation of assessable work to master subject.

Hope this makes sense

Thanks - I think the fact that ours are part of a curriculum framework, therefore already linked had me confused. Makes more sense now.

Is there a source of information available that has this in a straightforward clear and sequenced manner?

We are way overdue in structuring a framework (K-12) for NSW BOS courses plus IB from Primary Program, through Middle School and Diploma.

I understand we will need to review it as national curriculum rolls out... but we currently don't have the skills set to write it.

I want to learn how; how/where do I learn how?
