The conference programme will concentrate on aspects of Curriculum for Excellence and will form a major part of the strategy for engagement and implementation. It will include:
Transition – how will CfE assist in the development of programmes in the upper primary and early secondary years?
Links between first and second languages – how can modern languages teachers effectively build on pupils' first language skills and help to develop overall literacy?
HMIE – the modern languages inspectorate team will continue their very valuable input and dialogue on themes related to effective learning and teaching and CfE.
In addition, we intend to provide a short list of further topics which can be chosen to reflect particular needs in particular areas of the country.
For further details please see the Scottish CILT website. Please note this event takes place the week beginning 8th November.
