Summary: The NSW Department of Education commissioned a review of departmental resources that relate to sexuality and gender in October 2016. The review compares the NSW resources with international curriculum materials, provides an analysis of the Teacher Toolbox and Crossroads resources, and includes a set of findings about the appropriateness of the NSW resources.

The literature review draws on curriculum documents available in English. These typically take the form of national, state or school district sex education laws, syllabuses and resources. National summaries are provided for the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and Singapore.

The Gender and Engagement Learning Curve (PDF, 1.7MB) analyses gender and engagement in NSW public schools using data from the NSW Tell Them From Me secondary school survey.
