So Much to Learn...So Little Time

East Lothian (Science) Teachers Taking on ACfE

East Lothian Science Support Group » Getting to grips with a Curriculum for Excellence

I have just read about a group of 40+ science teachers in East Lothian who got together to discuss A curriculum for Excellence and just felt like saying bravo. What a brilliant idea, if only to meet other colleagues and to realise yoy are the only one thinking the way you are.
Over the next year Scottish education is looking at a massive change and it is naturally both scary and exciting.

A Call to Lothian and Edinburgh Bloggers

A.nnotate a PDF document

I am putting a call out to bloggers in Edinburgh and the Lothians for feedback on their school week, particularly in the secondary sector.
Aberdeenshire are currently "consulting" on the new Curriculum framework with regard to A Curriculum for Excellence. One of the proposals, and the one which is bound to generate the most discussion is that to unify and change the arrangements of the school week.

As you guys down there have this in place can you shed any light on how it has affected teaching, learning, collegiate working and childcare issues amongst others.

Those nice people at the BBC have published a whole swathe of videos in their Learning Zone pages.

There appears to be a nice selection of ones in French and German, which I shall be hoping to use on my new IWB...when the projector decides to work.
