  1. Essential Learnings Framework (ELFs) The ‘new’ Tasmanian Education Department Curriculum Framework

  2. What is ELF? • a construct to help schools focus on the values and purposes of education, curriculum planning, content, pedagogy and assessment • ELFs (Essential Learnings) describe deep understandings that students need to develop now and draw upon in the future as active, responsible citizens and life-long learners

  6. Humans want to learn Learning is an innate & lifelong process Learners are unique & they determine their own learning Learning depends on being able to connect prior knowledge, perceptions or patterns of experience to new experience or new information and contexts Learning is profoundly influenced by social relationships (p. 41-49) Learning is significantly affected by emotions Learning is more effective when information is embedded in purposeful and meaningful experiences Learning occurs all the time & part of what is learned is understanding about context Learning is demonstrated when learners can apply their understandings in new situations in flexible & thought-provoking ways LEARNING, TEACHING & ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES

They represent the teaching & learning goals toward which education is working. • Inquiring & reflective thinkers • Effective communicators • Self-directed & ethical people • Responsible citizens • World contributors
