Scots Language – CPD Event Materials

Malcolm Wilson Published August 12, 2015

We recently linked up with Education Scotland to deliver CPD to teachers at South Lanarkshire Council. In a quick, 2-hour twilight meeting we covered the basics of the Scots Language Award, had a look at Understanding Standards Materials, and discussed different ways in which the Award can be delivered. It was fantastic to see so many people interested in taking on something new, especially during the busiest of times for all involved.

Diane Anderson, one of Education Scotland’s Scots Language Co-ordinators also presented, giving specific case studies on how the Award is being delivered in various different centres. If anyone is interested in delivering either Units or the full Award, but unsure of how to fit it into a timetable, or work a cross-curricular subject like this, the Co-ordinators are an excellent source of information and guidance.

You can download the SQA workshops, and the UASPs and Understanding Standards packs used are available from our Secure Site.

This event was organised after teachers asked their Local Authority for support with the Award. If this is something you’d be interested in, then we recommend you get in touch with your Authority, or ask us about forthcoming events. Information on requesting CPD from SQA is available here.
