The ACARA History curriculum began its implementation in Queensland schools in 2013.

SEAQ (in its former role as SOSEAQ) commented on each draft of the ACARA history curriculum, mostly in conjunction with our national body, SCEAA. We will actively promote any professional learning that assists teachers who have very little history background to implement the new curriculum in 2013 and thereafter.

We will also look for opportunities to link history learning with other parts of the social education curriculum that are our major focus.To this end, our first PD of 2013, "Dealing with Intercultural Mis-Understanding" emphasised the ACARA General Capability of Intercultural Understanding as it intersects with history and the curriculum elaborations. It looked at such things as present and past culture clashes, ethnocentrism (e.g. of colonialists),  and stereotyping and prejudice based on cultural background.
