Journey to Excellence through Gaelic

• As part of HMIE’s Gaelic Language Plan which is published in 2009, HMIE are keen to support improvement through Gaelic.  In order to support this improvement through Gaelic HMIE are sharing 'The Journey to Excellence' initiative through Gaelic in various ways

• sharing practice through films in Gaelic Medium Early Years,

• Primary and Secondary schools, along with GLPS, through film clips published on our Journey to Excellence resource (www.journeytoexcellence.org.uk )

• creating Professional Development Packs in Gaelic, using the above films to support improvement in practice

• publishing parts of the Journey to Excellence series in Gaelic –

  • Parts 1 & 2 – Aiming for and Exploring Excellence
  • Part 3 -  How Good is our School  and The Child at the Centre
  • Part 4 – Planning for Excellence
  • Posters and materials to support Gaelic

All of the above materials were launched in March 2009 at our Gaelic conference.

This session will be led by HMIE colleagues who will explain the purpose of all the above and demonstrate how the above materials can support improvement in practice in through the medium of Gaelic (and GLPS).
