Modern Languages: Curriculum for Excellence: Learning, Teaching and Assessment, Making the Connections

This seminar will explore the interconnected nature of learning, teaching and assessment and how teachers' professional judgements are essential in determining the progress children and young people are making within modern languages.

The speakers will explore many key messages such as the principles of assessment, standards and expectations, ensuring consistency and validity through moderation, reporting to parents, informing self-evaluation for improvement and monitoring standards over time.

The seminar will provide opportunities to hear from creative and skilled practitioners on how they have developed innovative and relevant learning experiences through planned activities that lead to sustained, motivating learning and high levels of achievement for all children and young people. Consideration will be given to how ICT, including Glow, has the capacity to transform the way that the curriculum is being delivered.
