Here is some astronomy education material developed for secondary teachers in Western Australia that may prove useful/worthy for you.
The educational material is a three module (300 pages) set of detailed lesson plans titled "The Solar System", "Stars & Beyond" and "Projects".
It is a product of a federally funded ASISTM project organised by AstronomyWA and coordinated by Peter Wheeler, Manager of the Horizon Planetarium within Scitech in Perth.
 
The material is up-to-date, downloadable as PDF files and copyright free to encourage the teaching of astronomy within schools.

AstronomyWA URL is http://www.astronomywa.net.au/ and from there, visitors should be able to access the material without difficulty.
