Timelines Implementation of the new Victorian Curriculum can commence in individual schools as soon as they choose, with all schools required to implement the new curriculum from the start of 2017. In other words, schools may be already implementing the curriculum now while others may be using 2016 to prepare for full implementation in 2017. 2015-16 From 2015 AusVELS curriculum available AusVELS website archived December 2016 Victorian Curriculum available Full implementation from 2017 Implementation of the new Victorian Curriculum can commence in individual schools as soon as they choose, with all schools required to implement the new curriculum from the start of 2017. Many of you may already be implementing the new Victorian Curriculum while others may be preparing for full implementation of the Victorian Curriculum in 2017.

Terminology AusVELS - VELS component Victorian Curriculum Domains Curriculum areas Dimensions Strands and sub-strands ------- Content descriptions Learning focus Standards Achievement standards

Components Introduction Curriculum Rationale and aims Level / band description Structure - strands / sub-strands - placement of standards Content descriptions (+ elaborations ) Learning in .. . Achievement standards Scope and sequence Glossary

Structure of VC: D&T Band Descriptions Provides an overview to the content descriptions and achievement standard within the band Content Descriptions Specifies the knowledge, understandings and skills students are expected to learn. Content Elaborations Illustrations or examples of Content Descriptions (not mandated). Achievement Standards Describe what students are typically able to understand and able to do. They describe expected achievement and emphasise the depth of conceptual understanding and the sophistication of skills. Victorian Curriculum : Design and Technologies curriculum

Structure Achievement standards The first achievement standard at Foundation – Level 2, and then at Levels 4, 6, 8 and 10. A curriculum for students with disabilities is provided in this learning area. The Level A - D continuum contains one content description for each strand. This provides greater flexibility to schools when developing their teaching and learning programs. In Design and Technologies, the first achievement standard is at the end o fF-2 and then the end of levels 4, 6, 8 and 10. There is also an Level A-D continuum for students with disabilities. The continuum contains one content description for each strand.

What is Design and Technologies? Three strands in Design and Technologies Two curriculum areas One learning area Technologies Design and Technologies Technologies and Society Technologies Contexts Creating Designed Solutions Digital Technologies

Creating Designed Solutions Based on design thinking, design processes and production processes’ typically addressed through a design brief Technologies and Society Focuses on how people use and develop technologies Design and Technologies involves students creating quality designed solutions across a range of technologies contexts Technologies Contexts Focuses on the characteristics and properties of four technologies contexts

What does Design and Technologies involve? Considering the economic, environmental and social impacts of technological change and how the choice and use of technologies may contribute to a sustainable future Creating quality designed solutions across a range of technologies contexts What does Design and Technologies involve? Taking into account the ethical, legal, aesthetic and functional factors that inform the design processes

Organisation of the VC:D&T

Design and Technologies Contexts Engineering principles and systems Food and fibre production Food specialisations Materials and technologies focuses on food and fibre as human-produced or harvested resources, and how food and fibre are produced in managed environments such as farms or plantations, or harvested from wild stocks.  explores the application of nutrition principles and the characteristics and properties of food, food selection and preparation, and contemporary food issues explores a broad range of traditional, contemporary and emerging materials that involve an extensive use of technologies. explores how forces can be used to create light, sound, heat, movement, control or support in systems

Creating Designed Solutions Generating Investigating Producing Evaluating Planning and managing  developing and communicating ideas for a range of audiences applying a variety of skills and techniques to make designed solutions to meet specific purposes and user needs learning to plan and manage time, along with other resources, to effectively create design solutions making judgements through a design process about the quality and effectiveness of designed solutions involves critiquing, exploring and investigating needs and opportunities

Creating Designed Solutions Design processes Production processes

Computational thinking Systems thinking Generation of ideas and decisions made throughout the design processes; recognition of the connectedness and interactions Design thinking Use of strategies for understanding design needs and opportunities Focus on different types of thinking Computational thinking Problem-solving used e.g. calculating costs, testing materials

Focus on sustainability Environmental Social Economic

Do I have to teach Design and Technologies every year? School-based decision as to when and how the Design and Technologies curriculum is delivered. School plans must provide the opportunity for students to study Design and Technologies in each two-year planning cycle. More information is in the Curriculum Planning and Reporting Guidelines. Do I have to teach Design and Technologies every year ? Schools will develop their whole-school curriculum plan in order to deliver the Victorian Curriculum F-10 in a way that is meaningful and relevant to their students. It is a school-based decision as to when and how the Design and Technologies curriculum is delivered. For example schools may choose to deliver a concentrated unit of work to Year 3 students in Semester 1 to align with harvesting fresh food from the school garden and in Semester 2 an integrated unit on Machines, and then not teach any component of the Design and Technologies curriculum to students in Year 4. Schools will report student progress along the continuum when it has been taught. For example if the concentrated unit is taught to Year 3 students in Semester 1, then this will be included on the half yearly Year 3 report accurately representing the level of achievement.
