Victorian Essential Learning Standards The Victorian Essential Learning Standards are structured around the knowledge, skills and behaviour all students from P-10 should acquire in three core, interrelated strands of essential learning: Physical and Social Learning; Discipline-based Learning; and Interdisciplinary Learning. These three components are viewed as essential to prepare students for a rapidly changing and globalised world in which they have the capacity to: – manage themselves as individuals and in relation to others – manage the world in which they live, and – act effectively in that world. The Learning Standards require an interwoven approach to curriculum across the three strands of essential learning and this is reflected in Consuming Planet Earth. The Victorian Essential Learning Standards: Overview (March 2005, VCAA) provides the example of teaching environmental sustainability in a way that draws on the full range of interdisciplinary domains as well as being embedded in areas such as Science, Geography and Economics and recognises that students will need to create a future which is sustainable, innovative and creates strong communities. Consuming Planet Earth has been designed to reflect the innovative new which encourages a whole school approach to curriculum planning. The curriculum mapping of the student worksheets on pages 7 and 8 demonstrate the cross-curricula nature of this resource book. The introductory activities and the many extension tasks have also been designed to reflect the three strands of essential learning, particularly at Levels 5 and 6. consumer affairs victoria 6 Need consumer help? 1300 55 81 81 www.consumer.vic.gov.au
