What Year 9 Technologies students should achieve

Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 9 Technologies standard sentences this code builds towards:

• Students independently and collaboratively develop and apply production and project management plans, adjusting processes when necessary.
• By the end of Year 10 students develop and modify innovative digital solutions, decompose real-world problems, and critically evaluate alternative solutions against stakeholder elicited user stories.
• They design and validate algorithms and implement them, including in an object-oriented programming language.
• By the end of Year 10 students explain how people consider factors that impact on design decisions and the technologies used to design and produce products, services and environments for sustainable living.
• They use advanced features of digital tools to create interactive content, and to plan, collaborate on, and manage agile projects.
• Students create, adapt and refine design ideas, processes and solutions and justify their decisions against developed design criteria that include sustainability.

A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
