2. Middle Years of Schooling (Years 5-8)
The departments Enterprise and Vocational Education Team are supporting the development of enterprise and vocational learning in the middle years. Work and community-based learning is included. The implementation of the South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability Framework will support these developments through their explicit incorporation in the framework and the professional development and teaching, learning and assessing materials.
Many schools are developing practice consistent with sound middle schooling as a result of a Teaching and Learning in the Middle Years poster that was distributed to schools in recent years. The essence of this information is being applied within the new curriculum framework.
