Version: v0.2 draft, 29 September 2026. Status: teacher, local-syllabus, accessibility, EAL/D, cultural and science review pending. This is a national Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 planning map plus four authored weeks. It is not a complete Year 9 course, an approved state syllabus, an achievement judgment or a replacement for school-selected literature and texts.
What a teacher can use now
| Open | Authored coverage | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| 40-week sequence | A possible order with links to authored weeks | Weeks 5–40 are plan only; no daily resources are claimed there. |
| Mathematics Weeks 1–2 | Ten scripted 25-minute lessons, coordinate/line aids, fresh keyed check | Partial AC9M9A03 and AC9M9A05. |
| English Weeks 1–2 | Ten scripted 25-minute lessons, original fictional media sources and keyed check | Partial media, language and composition codes; a complete literature, spelling and reading program is still required. |
| Week 1 civic media lab | Five 35-minute Civics and Citizenship sessions | Uses a fictional community decision; no real council position is asserted. |
| Week 2 energy systems lab | Five 35-minute Science sessions and original energy-flow diagram | Paper models and invented values, not measured appliance performance. |
| English Weeks 3–4 | Ten further 25-minute lessons, three daily routes, original texts, A4 aids and two formative checks | Selected language, literature and literacy descriptions only; no complete text program. |
| Mathematics Weeks 3–4 | Ten further 25-minute lessons, three daily routes, original A4 aids and two formative checks | One selected integer-exponent description in part; not complete algebra coverage. |
| Integrated Weeks 3–4 | Ten 35-minute Paper Screen inquiry sessions, five original A4 aids and offline/paper model routes | All sensor values and claims are fictional; local approval is needed for physical testing. |
| Five-area Weeks 3–4 menu | Fifty optional 12-minute Science, HASS, HPE, Technologies and Arts blocks | Additional practice, not full weekly subject allocation. |
First-day route
- Check your authority's adopted Year 9 syllabus, school calendar, consent and privacy rules, reasonable adjustments, lab policy and text permissions. The QCAA ACiQ v9 page is one Queensland entry point; use your own authority elsewhere. These national codes do not set assessment/reporting dates.
- Read each subject preparation and access plan. Print text cards or the A4 SVG/PNG assets. Keep plain-text alternatives available; do not rely on colour, font size or a picture alone. Audit prerequisite understanding before Day 1 and adjust entry point without making adolescent examples childish.
- On Days 1–10 use the opening guides; on Days 11–20 follow the English, mathematics and integrated inquiry guides. The 25 + 25 + 35 minutes are three bounded blocks within a wider school day. Add a locally suitable five-area option if useful; other learning areas, reading, movement, routines and local obligations still need provision.
- Use daily and transfer checks to choose next teaching. The checks and teacher keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone: they are formative prompts, not secure exams. Collect first responses before discussing answers and change a case locally if prior access matters. Record mathematical or language prompts separately from access support. Learners can reason via speech, sign, AAC, typing, tactile/large-print tools, pointing, visual design or directing an adult; assess the named construct, and check independent reading separately when a source was read aloud. Store student records under school policy, never in this public pack.
Access routes are individual options, not fixed “learning styles”. No translation has been invented or certified. A translation needs a named language variety, bilingual expert review and school approval. No First Nations knowledge, local Country/Place story, actual student identity, family finances or disability experience is invented or solicited. All community proposals, tariffs and performance numbers in the lessons are invented and labelled.

Four weeks of authored opportunities do not establish Year 9 achievement.
