But wait! There's more!

Try this for size:
'The EsseNTial Learnings are developmentally mapped to achieve culminating outcomes. These outcomes are developed through the content of relevant Learning Areas and can be used as a strategy for curriculum integration. By their nature, the EsseNTial learnings are both part of the NTCF outcome structure and an enabler of inclusive needs-based program development. Schools need to create environments, programs and structures that present opportunities for learners to participate in a meangful way to ensure that these EsseNTial learnings are acquired.'
This appears in the Northern Territory's Curruculum Framework. What does it mean?
But don't you just lerve '...creating opportunities for ...meaningful participation...'? In other words, if you don't grab the 'opportunity', it's your fault!
