The Curriculum and Standards Framework (CSF) was developed for teachers Victoria, Australia.
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 and 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, Health and Physical Education, Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Mathematics, Science, Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) and Technology.
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.
