ANSN Snapshot: The ANSN Curriculum Planning Hub: An introduction from Gavin Grift
Keith Redman, Editor of ANSN E-News, interviewed Gavin Grift for this ANSN Snapshot, which has been developed from that conversation, using a range of Hub documentation. The Snapshot also includes comment and insights from a draft paper by Anne Clement, a colleague of Gavin Grift’s, who was involved in the development of the Curriculum Planning HubEducation is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

Introduction: What we did
In 2007, Gavin worked with a number of colleagues to design and develop the inaugural Curriculum Planning Hub, as a partnership between the Australian National Schools Network (ANSN) and the Mulberry Hill Cluster of schools in Victoria, where he was Cluster Educator at the time.
The Hub launched into five days of professional learning, seeking to address the following essential question.
How can we plan a curriculum that authentically meets the needs of our learners?
Out of the early discussions about our intent came a series of secondary or
supporting questions for each member to think about, which were:
- What is my purpose for planning curriculum?
- How do I effectively use a “planning process” to develop curriculum?
- How can I measure the success of my plan? and
- What can help me?
