Skills for Learning, Life and Work

Curriculum for Excellence requires pupils to develop knowledge, understanding and skills. Building the Curriculum 4 outlines how teaching colleagues and partner agencies can deliver skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work.

This seminar presents an overview of the beginning of the Skills journey within Curriculum for Excellence for Argyll and Bute Council. It will include examples of how the local authority framework has been piloted, in both primary and secondary schools, and how pupils are recording their Skills for Learning, Life and Work.
