Components of the Essential Learnings
The following resources are designed to help planners map the components of the Essential Learnings across year-level junctures. These components are the Learning and assessment focus (L&AF), Ways of working (WoW) and Knowledge and understanding (K&U).
- Science L&AF - Yrs 3-9 (PDF, 51.9 KB) (DOCX, 61.4 KB)
- Science WoW - Yrs 3-9 (PDF, 63.2 KB) (DOCX, 61.2 KB)
- Science K&U - Yrs 3-9 (PDF, 63.1 KB) (DOCX, 71.1 KB)
The assessable elements and descriptors of quality (AEDs) are used to link to the Essential Learnings and Standards, and help teachers make judgments about student achievements.
