at Avila we have one small class of ITA and a small Unit 1 class. Have had
similar pattern for last 3 years. We are thinking of offering the VET Multimedia
instead of VCE ITA with a view to maybe attracting more students. Any thoughts
or feedback on this proposal would be most appreciated. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

receive the CD?<BR><BR><BR><BR>> Dear colleagues<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
<BR>> Schools should be receiving from VCAA on 11 December a CD ROM
titled<BR>> 'Implementing VCE IT', which is designed to support teachers
implement<BR>> the reaccredited study in 2007 (and beyond). Use this in
conjunction<BR>> with all of the valuable advice you receive from your
colleagues on this<BR>> list. But, also remember, that at the end of the
day, it is the study<BR>> design that sets the parameters of the curriculum
and assessment. I'm<BR>> particularly mindful of this in light of the
recent press articles<BR>> regarding a question on the Health and Human
Development examination<BR>> paper.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> When
developing learning programs and designing assessment tasks, the<BR>> study
design is your key reference (also include any articles published<BR>> in
the VCAA Bulletin and the VCE and VCAL Ad! ministrative Handbook). The<BR>>
assessment handbook and any other resources provided by VCAA, such as<BR>>
the CD ROM, and other individuals and agencies, can assist you in<BR>>
developing learning and assessment programs, but they do not carry the<BR>>
status of 'mandatory'. The same goes for textbooks and commercially<BR>>
published assessment tasks. You cannot use as a defence the lack of<BR>>
coverage or inaccuracy of a publication. So please, when preparing any<BR>>
material, use the study design as your pivotal reference point and<BR>>
critically assess the quality of all other support material.<BR>> <BR>>
