The 'down -to-earth' language of the Elaborations will assist teachers gain a better understanding of "what is different" from one level to the next as we move from early childhood to late adolescence. The Elaborations will also assist teachers understand what they need to teach, model and provide opportunities for the student to practice collaboratively and independently. What the student needs to demonstrate at least twice, independently over a period of time.

Layer 3 Pointers of the Technology Process and the three conceptual outcomes (Materials, Information and Systems) provide a further 'unpacking' of the outcomes. These provide the types of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that a teacher needs to teach and students need to demonstrate at a particular stage of development as they progress from Early Childhood to Late Adolescence (Level 1 to 8). The Pointers can be used by a teacher to construct a Rubric. A rubric can make explicit to a student what they need to demonstrate at each level or stage of development.

The Living Progress Map

There are many reasons for teachers to consider constructing a 'Living Progress Map' from evidence gathered. Consider these:

• Professional Learning: a catalyse for teacher discussion enabling the development of a shared and deeper understanding of the outcomes.
• Assisting students: student work samples will help students gain a better understanding of what a particular level of achievement might look like.
• Consensus: sharing evidence gathered and work samples will assist the process of comparability within schools and between schools.
