Indicative progress

The Victorian Curriculum F–10 has been designed as a continuum of learning with achievement standards at the end of each level or more typically, a band of levels. For example, in English and Mathematics, achievement standards are at the end of Foundation level, Level 1, Level 2 and so on. In other curriculum areas such as Health and Physical Education, or The Arts, achievement standards are at the end of Foundation level, then at the end of bands of levels such as Levels 1 and 2, Levels 3 and 4 and so on.

To assist teachers to describe what their students' learning progress looks like between achievement standards, the VCAA has developed 'indicative progress descriptions'. Indicative progress descriptions are a tool teachers can use with their own teaching and learning plans to articulate how well their students are progressing when they are part-way through a curriculum level or band of levels. Such descriptions may be of use to a teacher when explaining learning expectations to students and to assess and/or report on student progress when they are part-way through a curriculum level or band of levels and hence between achievement standards.

Each indicative progress description document starts with an annotated example showing the key elements that need to be addressed when populating the template; a curriculum-specific example of indicative progress; and an indicative progress template, prepopulated with the relevant curriculum area's achievement standards, for teachers to complete.
