This Education Scotland conference will support lecturers who deliver Early Education and Childcare training programmes.
Education Scotland is delighted to announce that we have chosen this conference, which focuses on the importance of literacy in the early years, for a Ministerial launch of our new resource 'Every Day’s a Learning Day', by the Minister for Children and Young People Aileen Campbell, MSP.
The one-day event will build on the success of our previous conferences by:
- supporting reflection on the key messages from the Literacy Action Plan;
- providing a valuable opportunity to engage with colleagues from other colleges;
- facilitating the sharing of ideas and practice on working together with partner agencies and parents to support literacy in learning.
The programme includes the following keynote presentations:
- Scotland's Literacy Action Plan – everyone's responsibility: Jean Carwood-Edwards, Programme Director, Education Scotland
- Literacy in Action – promoting a reading culture in Scotland: Allan Bissett, author.
