Sample teaching planners

Sample teaching planner, Levels A–D

This sample teaching planner has been designed to support specialist school teachers and other educators working with students at Levels A–D. It identifies themes, key messages and ideas for teaching content from the content descriptions in the Victorian Curriculum Design and Technologies Levels A–D and can help teachers to design teaching and learning programs to suit their own cohort of students.

Sample teaching planner – Design and Technologies – Levels A–D

Sample teaching planners, Foundation – Level 10

These teaching planners identify themes, key messages and ideas for teaching content from specific content descriptions in the Technologies Contexts sub-strands in Victorian Curriculum F–10 Design and Technologies.

The ideas for teaching curriculum content are not intended to comprise a sequence of learning but rather they are ideas to support teachers to plan suitable lessons.

To complement the sample teaching planners, a suite of online resources has been curated and published on FUSE. The resources are categorised according to the four themes identified in the sample teaching planners and support the teaching of content in the Technologies Contexts sub-strands. 

Teaching planners for Engineering principles and systems

The four themes identified for the Engineering principles and systems context are:

• Forces, motion and energy
