The Victorian Curriculum F-10 is the new curriculum for Victorian schools. It incorporates the Australian Curriculum and reflects Victorian standards and priorities.
The Walker Learning Approach is based upon decades of research about play-based and personalised learning and social constructivism. It is a total approach to teaching and learning which combines the need for children to be active participants in their learning (through hands-on and creative exploration and investigation) which sits alongside formal instruction. There is explicit teaching and development of not only literacy and numeracy skills and knowledge, but also the range of vital social, emotional and life skills.
Assessment FOR learning – occurs when teachers use inferences about student progress to inform their teaching.
Assessment AS learning – occurs when students reflect on and monitor their progress to inform their future learning goals.
Assessment OF learning – occurs when teachers use evidence of student learning to make judgements on student achievement against goals and standards.
Reports are issued to parents/carers twice per year using a five-point rating scale to show student progress and achievement. Student Conference Reports are also completed each term to demonstrate student goal-setting and reflection.
