Education Scotland has published a reportwhich shows that children and young people with dyslexia are benefiting from education in their local schools and that teachers are increasingly well equipped to plan for and meet their needs in the classroom. This Education Scotland report is the outcome of an independent review of education for children and young people who have dyslexia which has been carried out on behalf of the Scottish Government. The review covered the experiences of learners in primary, secondary and special schools. It also looked into the provision made by local authorities and at the programmes of initial teacher education currently offered by universities in Scotland.

Battles, Sieges and Rebellions: Learning Journeys
Lead curricular area:Social studies
Curriculum level:Fourth level
These learning experiences at Fourth Level allow learners to explore the make-up of the Wars of Independence and the various conflicts which took place.
Learning opportunities
These are some of the learning opportunities that are exemplified in this learning journey:

 

  • Use the William Wallace resource and the Internet to research the origins of Wallace’s rebellion.
  • In groups, prepare and perform Wallace’s rebellion in Lanark.
  • Compare Wallace’s uprising to a modern day uprising e.g. Arab Spring and identify any similarities.
  • Plan a siege of Stirling Castle by drawing upon the knowledge gained from the Army resource and the Wallace and Bruce Learning Journey.
  • Analyse maps of the area around the Bannock Burn and plan the Scottish attack.
  • Recreate the Battle of Bannockburn in the school grounds.

The Curriculum for Excellence Implementation Plan

The Curriculum for Excellence Implementation Plan for 2014-15 sets out the objectives that need to be achieved, the activities at local level that will be required to achieve these objectives and the national support that will be available.

It is relevant to all those involved in promoting effective learning for children and young people from 3 to 18. The aim of publishing the Implementation Plan 2014-15 is to ensure that further support is provided in the areas which feedback suggests will be of most benefit.

Progress Report The progress report provides a summary of progress made on the activities outlined previously in the Implementation Plan 2013-14 up to the end of January. It focuses on national activity and shows the significant amount of work that has been undertaken nationally this year and the extent of the progress that has been made.
