How were the Victorian Essential Learning Standards developed?
The VCAA developed the Victorian Essential Learning Standards for all Victorian schools in both government and non-government sectors as part of the student learning strategy in the Blueprint for Government Schools (Department of Education and Training, 2003). The VCAA began the development process with a review fourteen of national and international curriculum documents. The findings of the review are in Curriculum Victoria: Foundations for the Future. Drawing on the review, and in consultation with Victorian teachers, the VCAA developed the Victorian Curriculum Reform 2004 Consultation Paper which informed schools and the wider community about the VCAA’s proposal for a new framework of essential learning. The Consultation Paper invited schools, teachers, parents and the wider community to give feedback via a questionnaire available on the VCAA website during Term 2, 2004. The VCAA received feedback to the consultation paper from over 1200 respondents, including schools, organisations
