Reflective questions
Approaches to planning must be coherent around learning, teaching and assessment. What are the implications for your current learning, teaching and assessment policies and practices?
Does your curriculum provide a sufficient emphasis on active, enterprising learning approaches that encourage creativity and innovation?
How effectively do you make clear to learners what they are learning, what success looks like and what is expected of them? Do you provide sufficiently high quality feedback to learners about how much and how well they have learned? Are learners involved in this process?
What strategies will you have to adopt to develop consistent application of standards?
How will you use the flexibility of Curriculum for Excellence to provide opportunities and pathways for all learners including those with additional support needs and those who require more choices and more chances to progress?It is important that more able children and those who make faster progress do not ‘race’ through the levels. How can you plan greater variety of contexts, depth and greater challenge into the experiences and outcomes for these children and young people?
