Education Scotland: Update on 1+2 policy and the delivery of L3 in the secondary context
Following feedback from schools and practitioners, the guidance around the parameters of delivery of L3 in the secondary context has now been updated. All aspects of the policy can be found on the National Improvement Hub and full details on the update can be found here. Please share with your colleagues.
Education Scotland: Regional working
Education Scotland is now operating using a model based on the Regional Improvement Collaborative (RIC) format. However, the Modern Languages team continues to support teachers across the country with input tailored to requests from the RICs, local authorities and schools. Since August, the team has travelled from the Western Isles to East Lothian and from Highland to the Scottish Borders. Please contact Shona Hugh for further information.
Support for the 1+2 approach to language learning: Progression
The second suite of resources to support the delivery of Scotland’s languages policy on progression from second to third level is now available on the National Improvement hub. This resource is made up of a presentation for teachers, advice on learning and teaching with linked pupil activities and generic progression frameworks for second to third and third to fourth level. This resource complements the first to second level materials published earlier this year. For further information on the materials and how they can be used to deliver professional learning, please contact Shona Hugh.
Education Scotland and SCILT: Partnership working
The Education Scotland Modern Languages team are working in partnership with the development officers at SCILT to deliver professional learning on ‘Assessment and moderation in the BGE’. The first workshops were delivered to colleagues in Perth and Kinross.
Further information on the SCILT Professional Learning offer is available on the SCILT website.
