Course organisationThe course organisation should provide a clear statement of the structure of the school’s proposed course and the way in which it is organised and sequenced. It should indicate:
time allocation for units, ensuring the minimum 55 timetabled hours per semester is met
a minimum of four and a maximum of eight units of work, ranging from 20 to 55 hours per unit
the four sustainable resource management factors, each covered twice by verification
at least two areas of study per unit. Where sustainable resource management factors are the focal point of a unit of work and assessment, they may be combined with one area of study
evidence of all key concepts being covered twice prior to verification (once in Year 11 and once in Year 12)
at least one inquiry-based investigation of agricultural issues or problems per year
evidence of all key ideas being covered during the course.
Note: In this template, the assessment plan is included with the course organisation. Schools may choose to provide the course organisation and the assessment plan separately.
Assessment planThe assessment plan provides an indication of the range and balance of assessment instruments and procedures used to gather information about student achievement for the two-year course of study. It should ensure verification folio requirements about student achievements are met, as outlined in Section 4.6 of the syllabus.
The assessment plan must include:
assessment instruments that students will undertake throughout the course, using the terminology of the syllabus
formative and summative assessment instruments
the dimensions being assessed by each instrument, with at least two dimensions per instrument. Each dimension must be assessed each semester
assessment conditions that allow students to meet the syllabus requirements
verification folio requirements:
- four to six instruments from Year 12 only
- evidence of each dimension assessed summatively at least three times
- one extended agricultural investigation assessing all three dimensions and
- one examination
one post-verification instrument that assesses all three dimensions
a student profile that matches the assessment plan and allows for the recording of student achievement in each dimension.

Outline of intended student learningTo demonstrate that the scope and depth of student learning meets syllabus requirements, the school’s proposed work program should include one sample unit of work that includes:
opportunities to develop the dimensions and objectives
subject matter and learning experiences derived from the areas of study and the sustainable resource management factors.
