Yes. Foundation and Year 1 are complete, and every Victorian Curriculum 2.0 code for those year levels is covered within its year. Year 2 onwards is in build.
Each unit clearly identifies the code or codes it addresses, so you can report against VC2.0 without doing any mapping work yourself.
The order in which the learning intentions are covered has been developed by The Y Intercept over more than a decade of trialling and testing, so that the sequence runs without gaps and misconceptions are prevented rather than addressed as they arise.
Units are ordered by what students need to be able to do before the next unit starts, rather than by the order in which the content descriptions are listed.
Curriculum documents set out what students should learn by the end of a year and give no guidance on the order in which to teach it. Ordering is left to each school, and it is the decision that most affects how prepared students are to learn the next lesson or unit. Applying the curriculum codes after the learning progression is settled means the order is built on what students need, whilst meeting curriculum requirements.
Ideally, start at the beginning of 2027 with Foundation. Year 1 also works as an entry point, though teachers will need to address any Foundation prior knowledge the class is missing. Every Year 1 unit states its prior knowledge clearly and links directly to the Foundation units and lessons that teach it, so the material is there and ready to use rather than something you have to go looking for.
Starting part way through a year level is fine, however, it will give much the same outcome as a typical yearly structure does. A class joining midway has not been taught the sequence leading up to that exact point, so the cognitive load demands that have been carefully managed across every unit and lesson become a hope rather than a design.
The lessons within a unit are sequenced deliberately, each one is built on the prior knowledge established by the one before it, so working through them in order is the intended use. The units themselves are also sequenced across the year level for the same reason.
Each unit page holds everything for that unit in one place rather than spreading it across separate lesson pages. You'll see the unit title and its prior knowledge points at the top, followed by every lesson in the unit listed in order, each with its own set of stage cards.
Each lesson is broken into up to seven stages, Introduction, Explore, Instruction, Scaffold, Practice, Application and Extension. Not every lesson uses all seven, a card only appears if that stage has a resource attached to it, so a shorter lesson will simply show fewer cards.
Most stage resources are PDFs and will open in a new browser tab so you can view them without downloading anything first. The Instruction stage is the exception, since that's a PowerPoint file and will download directly so you can open and edit it in PowerPoint.
es. The Instruction stage files are provided as editable PPTX downloads so you can adapt the slides to your own class before teaching from them.
