Literacy across learning at third and fourth levels

Curriculum for Excellence makes developing literacy the responsibility of all teachers. In order to achieve this, schools across Scotland have employed strategies to embed literacy in all curricular areas.

This seminar will focus on effective learning and teaching of literacy experiences and outcomes in secondary schools. Practitioners will show how they have engaged with the literacy experiences and outcomes through their curricular area.

Participants will hear from practitioners about how they have:

• planned for literacy learning in their subject in a coherent and relevant way
• worked with other departments to ensure a coherent approach
• considered how to ensure progression of learners' literacy skills
• developed moderation procedures within their subject area.
