Line 1:
The '''Curriculum and Standards Framework''' (CSF) was developed for students inteachers [[Victoria, Australia]]. It was introduced in Victorian schools in 1995 and republished in 2000 as the CSF II. It was supercededsuperseded by the [[Victorian Essential Learning Standards|Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS)]] program in 2006.
 
The CSF described what students in Victorian schools should know and be able to do in eight key areas of learning at regular intervals from the [[Primary_Education|primary]] and [[Secondary_Education|secondary]] levels of education — specifically, from year Prep ('Preparatory') to Year 10. It provided sufficient detail for schools and the community to be clear about the major elements of the [[curriculum]] and the standards expected of successful learners.
 
The eight key learning areas were [[the Arts]], [[English studies|English]], [[Health and Physical Education]], [[Languages Other Than English]] (LOTE), [[Mathematics]], [[Science]], [[Studies of Society and Environment]] (SOSE) and [[Technology]]. A document, the ESL Companion to the English CSF was also part of the project - it describes stages of English as a second language development. This latter document was an important part of the csf, acknowledging the teaching and assessment needs of the many students learning English as a second or additional language.
