Building the Curriculum 1: The contribution of the curriculum areas

A Scottish Executive publication to help schools and establishments plan curriculum change.

Published in November 2006, it focuses on the curriculum areas, each of which makes its own unique contribution to developing the four capacities of children and young people. Each does so both within its own disciplinary contexts and through connections with other areas of learning.

The 'Building the Curriculum 1' material draws on classroom practice to describe some of these contributions and possible connections.

It should be clear from these descriptions that the curriculum areas are not intended to be rigid structures.

The information from the document is available in the Building the Curriculum 1 section of the Curriculum for Excellence website.
