SASPA 2026 Twilight – SA Curriculum with Julia Atkin
Enacting the South Australian Curriculum: Processes for Leading Purposeful and Sustainable Curriculum Renewal
How can school leaders move from understanding the South Australian Curriculum to enacting it meaningfully in their own context?
Enacting the SA Curriculum is not simply an implementation task. This interactive twilight session will explore practical ways to lead curriculum enactment so that it is purposeful, coherent and sustainable. Participants will examine key principles and processes that support authentic engagement, professional learning and collective responsibility for change.
The session will focus on how leaders can create the conditions for teachers to make sense of the curriculum, connect it with their learners and communities, and understand its implications for learning design. Participants will explore practical approaches for guiding professional dialogue, planning professional learning, building collective ownership and maintaining momentum over time.
Designed for principals and curriculum and learning leaders, the session will connect practical leadership processes with the principles and strategic direction underpinning public education in South Australia.
