Structure of the curriculum
The overall structure of the curriculum is consistent across learning areas and includes the following elements:
- A rationale that explains the place and purpose of the learning area in the school curriculum
- Aims that identify the major learning that students will be able to demonstrate as a result of learning from the curriculum
- An organisation overview that details how the curriculum in the learning area will be organised
- Content descriptions that specify what teachers are expected to teach
- Achievement standards that describe the quality of learning typically expected of students
- General capabilities that describe a set of skills, behaviours and dispositions that apply across subject-based content
- Cross-curriculum priorities that ensure the Victorian Curriculum is relevant to the lives of students and addresses the contemporary issues they face.
