The Understanding Ledger

Every learner has a record of exactly which curriculum descriptors they have proven, when they proved it, and on what evidence. Parents see it every four weeks.

Walk a descriptor through the gate

A worked demonstration with sample data. Advance a row to see what has to happen before it turns green.

Sample learner · Year 7 MathematicsDemonstration data, not a real learner
Amber is the honest state, and most systems do not have it. A topic that has been taught and teach-backed is not proven. It is only proven once it survives a delayed check on questions the learner has never seen. That gap between amber and green is where most tutoring quietly fails.

What the Ledger records

The descriptorNamed ACARA v9 or VCAA code and a plain-English statement.
Red, amber, greenNot yet taught, taught but not proven, proven independently.
Teach-back recordDate, tutor and the four-part checklist result.
Delayed checkDate, at least 7 days later, and the score on novel items.
Retrieval historyEvery scored opener, so the trend line is visible.
Decay flagNot retrieved in 90 days, so it drops back to amber automatically.
Green can go backwards, deliberately. A descriptor that has not been successfully retrieved in 90 days returns to amber and re-enters the schedule. A progress report that only ever goes up is not believed, and it should not be.
