Learning and Teaching Scotland and HM Inspectorate of Education - working together to promote best practice

LTS and HMIE have a number of Good Practice conferences planned prior to the Christmas and New Year holidays, each designed to consider the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence across a variety of subjects.
