The morning session will be led by staff from SCILT and will include two workshops:

Curriculum for Excellence one year on – looking back to move forward

This workshop aims to explore how last session’s plans worked out, which revisions you are making/planning to make, and how S2 courses are shaping up.

We will also look at strategies for gathering and recording evidence, together with criteria you have developed within your department to aid consistency.

The “BCA” of Assessment

How can Modern Languages teachers develop assessment approaches that reflect breadth, challenge and application of learning and generate good quality evidence?

This workshop will discuss a range of ways in which this can be achieved.

The afternoon will be led by Kathleen McCormick, SQA Qualifications Development Manager for Languages.  

New Qualifications

Following the publication of the final versions of all documents in April 2012, the session will provide an excellent opportunity for an update and Q&A session.

Quality Assurance and Cluster Groups
In preparation for the Quality Assurance model proposed for the new qualifications which will rely on nominations from SCIS schools and the dissemination of information through cluster groups, there will be time for open discussion on how this will work in practice.

The day will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and discussion and all Modern Languages teachers are warmly invited to attend.

Please register by 25 April
