'font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Let’s start at the beginning.
Firstly, government schools do not have to report on ICT until next year (on=
ly
English and Maths are required this year). I’m not certain what stance
the CEO has taken on this matter regarding the phasing in of the VELS. </spa=

<p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy face=3DArial><span style=3D=
'font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Secondly, it is intended, that regardle=
ss
of where students <b><span style=3D'font-weight:bold'>acquire</span></b> the=
ir
ICT skills, they use their ICT knowledge and skills within their other areas=
of
learning. So, even if you don’t have ‘dedicated IT classes’=
;,
students would still be expected to demonstrate the ICT standards in other
areas of learning. This means that individual teachers take responsibility t=
o
providing learning programs that cover not only their discipline domain but
also ICT. As you suggested, this means integrating these ICT knowledge=
and
skills into the other learning and assessment programs.</span></font></p>

<p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy face=3DArial><span style=3D=
'font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The progression points assist teachers=
in
making judgments about how their students are progressing against the
standards. There are only a few examples of evidence that you would typicall=
y
see at each of the progression points, so they are illustrative only –
your school would need to develop their own sets of evidence to match the
aspects of the standards that are being addressed in your learning program.=
Of
course, some of the published progression points may suit your course –=
;
if there aren’t any, they provide a good basis upon which you can deve=
lop
your own. </span></font></p>
