Curriculum for Excellence

Support for staff

Exemplification of Curriculum for Excellence

The case studies in this section provide staff with exemplars of how some schools in Scotland have started to implement the literacy and Gàidhlig experiences and outcomes under Curriculum for Excellence.

Within each of these studies you can find innovative teaching methods, video clips of good practice and numerous support materials for your own use.

These are by no means prescriptive teaching models for the curriculum but are provided to offer you inspiring illustrations of innovative practices that are already being used in Scottish schools today.
