Answer

TransformED Development Days have been provided to give schools dedicated time to engage with key areas of education reform, including curriculum, assessment and qualifications.

To reduce workload associated with planning, my Department has provided supporting resources, including materials to support engagement with Curriculum 2028. Schools remain free to use the days in a way that reflects their own circumstances and priorities.

My Department will seek feedback from schools on how the days have been used, the usefulness of the resources provided and what support schools would find most helpful in future. This information will help inform future resources, professional learning and the design of future TransformED Development Days.
