Abstract
This is a review and critical commentary on the potential impacts of the Australian national curriculum on classroom teaching and learning. It argues that there is limited evidence that test-driven, basic skills orientations to curriculum will generate sustainable educational gains for low socioeconomic and Indigenous students. Drawing on recent and current work on the enacted curriculum in Australian classrooms, it argues for a strong curriculum focus on intellectual depth, sustained conversation and connectedness to the world - a renewed emphasis on substantive intellectual work in schools.
