Good to Great Schools Australia (GGSA) has launched mapping to assist schools using McGraw Hill Direct Instruction and GGSA Oz-e-learn programs to understand how the programs meet the Australian Curriculum V9. 

Our mapping documents set out the English and Mathematics standards and learning area sub-strands of the Australian Curriculum V9 and show how the programs meet them. 

Good to Great Schools Australia’s Oz-e-learn programs, including Oz-e-English, Oz-e-writing and Oz-e-maths have been developed specifically to address any requirements of the Australian Curriculum that have not been met by Direct Instruction (DI) programs. They can be delivered as standalone curriculum or to supplement DI programs.
