Curriculum Materials Information
Services (CMIS) is a project within the Syllabus Development and Resources Directorate in the Department
of Education and Training, Western Australia. The Evaluation
section identifies curriculum materials that support school
curriculum applications and coordinates the evaluation of those
resources.
All forms of resources are reviewed for teachers
and students: print; non-print; audio visual; DVDs;
computer software and Internet sites. Resources are reviewed
and evaluated through a network of teachers, Curriculum Officers
and other professionals working in education.
Full details of the resources reviewed by CMIS are contained
in the CMIS
Reviewing Program [PDF]
The information is disseminated
through a number of print publications, the CMIS website, CMIS Blogs and the CMIS Resource Bank.
Print publications
are distributed free of charge to all Western Australian public
schools. Publications available for purchase or on subscription
may be ordered
direct from CMIS.
