VCE VM and VPC coordinator checklist

The VCE VM and VPC coordinator checklist has been designed for school staff who are coordinating the VCE VM or VPC in 2023.
It follows the format of the existing VCE checklist but has been redesigned to incorporate content specific to VCE VM and VPC coordinators, such as applied learning pedagogy and contact links.

Communities of practice

Applied learning communities of practice have been established across the state to support teachers to implement the VCE VM and VPC. The groups form a robust network in a geographic area that focuses on the collaborative development of high-quality curriculum and pedagogical practice and are led by expert applied learning practitioners in each area.
