To support the SWEIC Delivery Plan, we are offering this professional learning opportunity to strengthen capacity for curriculum innovation and pedagogical practice at local level, for School Leaders, 3-18. (Suitable for Secondary and Primary HTs, DHTs and EY Centre Managers/Deputes).
New Pedagogies for Deep Learning (NPDL), is a global innovation partnership committed to transforming learning so that all students flourish by developing the Global Competencies they need to navigate our complex, ever changing world.
Deep Learning is the process of developing the six Global Competencies: citizenship, character, communication, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. Teachers enable this by designing authentic learning experiences that activate engagement and enable students to create and use new knowledge in real contexts.
The Deep Learning approach includes a framework, set of tools and collaborative learning processes that transform teachers into activators and architects of learning. Tools and resources support all levels of leadership to create contextualised conditions and a culture that supports Deep Learning for all.
The rationale behind NPDL aligns very closely with Curriculum for Excellence and the current Scottish Educational Landscape, taking account of the recommendations from:
• Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence: Into the Future – OECD, June 2021
• Putting Learners at the Centre: Towards a Future Vision for Scottish Education, March 2022
• All Learners in Scotland Matter – national discussion on education, May 2023
• It’s Our Future – Independent Review of Qualifications and Assessment, June 2023
