Teachers are key… to successful implementation of A
Curriculum for Excellence.
The quality of learning and teaching in every classroom – and the inspiration, challenge and enjoyment which can come from teachers’ enthusiasm and commitment – will be critical to achieving our aspirations for all young people.

Progression
• Skills and Knowledge and Understanding are developed progressively through all areas.
• Some of the lines of progression do not have specific entries at each of the levels
- to focus on a reduced number of outcomes at that level to allow learning in depth.
- to meet the cognitive stage of development of the pupils and should be accessible but challenging for all

New Outcomes
Based on my understanding of colour mixing, I have compared the main types of visual displays used in communication and entertainment devices. I can present information on the relative advantages and disadvantages.

New Outcomes
By investigation and research, I have explored properties of novel materials and can convey my understanding of the innovative commercial and industrial applications of these materials and their potential benefits to society.

New Outcomes
In my group, I can contribute to the design of investigations on the growth of microbes and debate the risks and benefits of their different roles. I can give a simple explanation on how some cells can be used therapeutically.

EngagementPublication of learning outcomes and experiences: • phased approach• engagement with teachers - how do the outcomes build upon your current
practice? - are there any specific outcomes that you feel
would benefit from further elaboration? - Is the ‘gradient of progression’ from outcome to
outcome appropriate?

Next Steps: 2007-2008• pilot projects in some education
authorities• developing our thinking on curricular
architecture• consultation with the profession: SCQF 4 and 5 recognising wider achievement• glow: networking opportunities
