Glow and Curriculum for Excellence

Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3 to 18.

The world has changed considerably in recent times, and it is essential that education not only keeps up with change but anticipates the future as far as possible. As Glow rolls out to more local authorities in Scotland, the importance of its role in driving forward Curriculum for Excellence is becoming clear.

Schools and educators throughout Scotland are being given unique access through Glow to resources which actively promote creative learning and teaching, one of the core goals of Curriculum for Excellence.

However, it is not just the pupils who are benefiting. An exemplar Curriculum for Excellence Glow Group has been set up in Dundee to enable teachers to exchange views and receive updates across the authority, allowing them to discuss issues when it suits them.

Each project shows Glow is not a separate development from Curriculum for Excellence but a core element of support.
