20. What is a Learning Byte?
Learning Bytes are resources specifically designed to support the Religion Curriculum P-12 from which teachers might develop a unit of work. They are not units of work in themselves but include many of the elements that a teacher would need to consider when planning for teaching, learning and assessing (e.g. year level description, achievement standard, content descriptions, success criteria, inquiry learning, fertile questions, teacher background, connections with the Religious Life of the School P-12). There should be alignment between planning in Religion and planning in other learning areas of the Australian Curriculum.
A key message …

21. Using the Learning Byte Map: The Learning Byte map is one way of organizing the Religion Curriculum to ensure entitlement to learning. Schools may choose to organize the curriculum in other ways that are more appropriate for their specific context and student interests. BCE will be developing a substantial number of learning bytes; not all. Sixteen learning bytes will be written this year with others to follow next year.
