assessment
A measure of student learning and the extent to which instructional objectives have been achieved. Assessment methods should be matched to purpose and encompass: summative assessment of learning to determine what the student has achieved; formative assessment to inform the next stage of teaching and learning that will occur; and ongoing assessment which focuses on teacher feedback alongside student reflection and self assessment.

levels
The levels represent typical progress of students at key points within the stages of learning. It is recognised that students progress at individual rates and may demonstrate achievement at a particular level earlier or later than typical. The six levels associated broadly with the years of schooling from Prep to Year 10 as follows:
Level 1 – End of Prep Year
Level 2 – End of Year 2
Level 3 – End of Year 4
Level 4 – End of Year 6
Level 5 – End of Year 8
Level 6 – End of Year 10

stages of learning
Developmental stages related to the characteristics of typical learners. The stages outlined in the Victorian Essential Learning Standards broadly relate to early childhood (Years Prep to 4), the emergence of adolescence (Years 5 to 8), and later adolescence (Years 9 to 10) where students are preparing for transition to the post-compulsory years.
