[Year 12 IPM] VCAA CD ROM: Implementing VCE IT

[Lesley Humphries]

Paula - will non-state schools also receive the CD?



> Dear colleagues

> Schools should be receiving from VCAA on 11 December a CD ROM titled
> 'Implementing VCE IT', which is designed to support teachers implement
> the reaccredited study in 2007 (and beyond). Use this in conjunction
> with all of the valuable advice you receive from your colleagues on this
> list. But, also remember, that at the end of the day, it is the study
> design that sets the parameters of the curriculum and assessment. I'm
> particularly mindful of this in light of the recent press articles
> regarding a question on the Health and Human Development examination
> paper.
> 
> 
> 
> When developing learning programs and designing assessment tasks, the
> study design is your key reference (also include any articles published
> in the VCAA Bulletin and the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook). The
> assessment handbook and any other resources provided by VCAA, such as
> the CD ROM, and other individuals and agencies, can assist you in
> developing learning and assessment programs, but they do not carry the
> status of 'mandatory'. The same goes for textbooks and commercially
> published assessment tasks. You cannot use as a defence the lack of
> coverage or inaccuracy of a publication. So please, when preparing any
> material, use the study design as your pivotal reference point and
> critically assess the quality of all other support material.
