Seminar Description

Our vision in Perth and Kinross is for all learners to achieve to their fullest potential. We believe that we can achieve our vision by setting the standard to which we expect all to aspire and by delivering the highest quality learning experiences.

We believe that the development of children and young people's literacy skills holds the key to effective learning and to the raising of attainment in all areas of the curriculum. Effective learning and teaching takes place through listening and talking, reading and writing.

In Perth and Kinross, "Improving Learning - Improving Literacy" is seen as a whole school approach, where nursery, primary and secondary schools work in partnership to ensure common approaches and progression. Listening and talking, reading and writing are developed across all learning and, where appropriate, within contexts. Teachers create opportunities through co-operative and active learning approaches to develop listening and talking.They ensure that texts, in the broadest sense, take account of pupils' language development and that opportunities are given for writing and for individual talks which incorporate the skills relevant to each pupil and in each subject.
