The purpose of the Years 1 to 10 English Curriculum Development Project is to review and revise the 1994 English in Years 1 to 10 Queensland Syllabus Materials and to design, develop, publish and disseminate a Years 1 to 10 syllabus for English, online support materials / sourcebooks and initial inservice materials for Queensland schools. The evaluation reported here covered the trial phase of the curriculum project. The purpose was to provide advice on the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of the English Years 1 to 10 Draft Syllabus Trial 2002 and the associated support materials used in the trial phase of the Years 1 to 10 English Curriculum Development Project in 2002. The data suggest that the draft syllabus is very sound in its construction. Its design has taken account of a very wide range of theoretical considerations and input from a broad range of people with an interest and expertise in English education. The theoretical framework of the draft syllabus has received positive though not universal support from teachers and administrators in the trial schools and stakeholder groups as represented on the SAC. The draft syllabus appears to have moved forward from the well-established 1994 syllabus by broadening and strengthening certain key areas and setting the whole into the outcomes approach. The evaluation has revealed widespread belief that the draft syllabus describes the learnings in English that are fundamental for all learners in Years 1 to10. The evidence also indicates that most of the teachers who had worked with the materials for at least a year found the whole quite workable with very good results in the class-room. According to the teachers in the trial, students benefited from their teachers efforts with the materials. [p.vi, ed].
