Emmanuel Christian School, Tasmania

Food Technology

One real lesson, shown in full - the plan, the recipe, the risk assessment, and the reference cards behind it - shared here for other teachers to see how it comes together.

Why one format

Compliance you can show, not just claim

The planner runs a coverage audit against every AC9 Design and Technologies code across Years 7 to 10. It flags anything never taught, and anything taught but never formally assessed, so gaps show up before an audit finds them, not during one.

Same shape, every lesson

Every lesson, including the Butter Chicken assessment below, follows the same structure: focus, success criteria, a tiered task list, timing. A relief teacher or another Food Tech teacher picking this up mid-term knows exactly where to look, instead of decoding a new layout each time.

Written once, used twice

Lesson content is entered once in the term planner and generates the student-facing page directly from that data, so the plan and what students actually see never drift apart.

Worked example - Year 7, Week 9: Assessment 2

Kitchen Foundations and Safe Practice, the module that ends this way every year: after a term building stovetop and knife skills, students cook Butter Chicken from scratch, managing their own hygiene and timing without reminders. Five documents, one lesson, end to end.

Week 9 - Assessment 2: Butter Chicken

The full lesson as students see it: focus, success criteria, a tiered task list, and a timing plan for the double period. Covers AC9TDE8P03, AC9TDE8P05 and AC9TDE8K04.
