and now Product Design and Technology for over 30 years, but to use a C-19 phrase (were all in this together) Its just a pity that the VCAA don’t share the same in at least giving something to all the Passionate Design teachers we have and our Teachers
Association DATTA vic who always support us. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#201F1E">I spoke to the VCAA Design and Tech curriculum manager, Leanne Compton, in regards to the concerns you raised about VCE Product Design and she had some useful
advice.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#201F1E">Firstly she wanted to reassure us that it's ok if students do not finish their products. SATs can be modified by only assessing the indicators under each of the
criteria that don't involve/require prac. She gave the example for criteria 8, where teachers would assess students on indicator 2 only instead of 1,2 and 3. VCAA trust that teachers will still be able to accurately rank their students so long as the school-based
assessment is consistent. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

to note is that VCAA will not be making any further changes to U4. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#201F1E">Leanne also mentioned that some schools are asking their student to create physical prototypes out of cardboard. This could be something worth exploring for the
woodwork students. Have we investigated sending out sewing machines/resource packs to students? This, of course, would have to be done in a way that is equitable to all student in the cohort. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
