Program Development

All schools are required to deliver programs of study that comply with the requirements of NSW Board of Studies (BOS) syllabuses.  Edekit has developed over 1,000 subject units covering the most studied subjects. We are continuing to develop units to ensure that a unit for every subject in all syllabi will become available during 2011.

The Edekit Units are developed and written by experienced high school teachers. To ensure BOS compliance, Edekit assesses completed units against the following criteria:

• NSW Board of Studies curriculum
• Individual subject syllabus requirements
• Alignment with the Edekit program standards framework
• 3rd party user perspective
• Readability
• Classroom functionality

Units in all subjects are continually reviewed in response to curriculum and syllabus changes. As new subjects are introduced, Edekit guarantees development of an associated subject unit within 5 working days of the publication of the subject syllabus by BOS.

Shared Subject Units

Edekit advocates resource sharing and collegiality and is the platform that eliminates the barriers across education sectors, across schools and across Key Learning Areas.

Edekit encourages teachers to share their subject units/resources (either their own or their personalised Edekit unit) and provides an easy mechanism for this to happen – just tick the box.  However, not all units and resources offered for sharing will meet the Edekit standard for format and content.  As part of Edekit’s rigorous quality control process, all units/resources offered for sharing are examined and assessed for alignment with Edekit’s program standards framework. 

Edekit’s quality control process results in a library of teaching resources representing
