Every Day’s A Learning Day – Parentzone questionnaire now available
This year, Education Scotland produced two booklets for parents, ‘Every day’s a learning day – birth to 3 years’ and ‘Every day’s a learning day – 3-6 years’. The booklets are being distributed to parents of new-born babies and children beginning their pre-school education aged three.
If you are a parent in one of the above groups we would be grateful if you would complete our short survey. This will, along with other information, help us decide how best we can support the parents of young children in the future.
Parents’ Conference Reading – what’s my role
Education Scotland
Reading – What’s my role?
Saturday 27th October 10.00am – 3.00pm, The Mercure Hotel, Inverness
The Literacy Team at Education Scotland is hosting a free conference for parents and would be grateful if you could make this information available to parents.
Once children have mastered the basics of learning to read, many parents are concerned about how best to develop their child’s skills and encourage a love of books. The conference will support parents in helping children to successfully negotiate an information rich world and to become readers for life.
Nicola Morgan, the award-winning author, will deliver the keynote address. The conference will explore some of the perceived barriers to reading and discuss how parents can best support their children.

SPTC Newsletter and Conference
The latest Backchat newsletter is full of information about us! It was clear from our survey of SPTC members earlier this year that many parents weren’t aware of our range of services. This edition of Backchat should hopefully rectify this with lots of information on SPTC membership insurance, how parents can get involved in SPTC, our extensive range of leaflets and our Information & Training sessions. Here is the link to the downloadable version on our website: http://www.sptc.info/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=1:backchat-newsletters&Itemid=26
We have also just sent information to all our Parent Council and PTA members about our Annual Conference. You can download registration forms from our website.

Education Scotland has today published the first two reports in a Curriculum Impact series.
Education Scotland has today published the first two reports in a Curriculum Impact series that is designed to present a subject-by-subject picture of how children and young people are experiencing learning in different areas of the 3-18 curriculum across the country.
These first two reports focus on the sciences and social studies. Setting a pattern for others that will follow, they provide subject-specific analysis and evaluation of current practice, based on a range of independent inspection activities, and they then go on to identify emerging innovative and thought-provoking practice, while highlighting important areas for development.
