Interdisciplinary Learning in Falkirk Council primary schools is evolving\u00a0in response\u00a0to the advice received from our Chief HMIE in August 2016:<\/p>\n
Yvonne McBlain has been working with teachers and senior leaders across Falkirk Children’s Services to explore how to: “not spend time on IDL which does not provide opportunities to apply and deepen learning or is contrived.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to\u00a0self-evaluation of their curricula, some senior managers and practitioners want to improve progression of learning through the IDL context of their curriculum. Specific professional learning\u00a0activities are proving valuable to help shift our planning focus away from topics towards broader groups or bundles of experiences and outcome which are interdisciplinary across all levels i.e. are progressive AND are linked by the skills, knowledge or content that they progress.<\/p>\n
Yvonne McBlain is working on a series of digital files which will explain this process in more detail. However, in the meantime, click here<\/a> to view her latest Power Point presentation about interdisciplinary planning. The vital starting point for planning of discrete or interdisciplinary learning is thorough understanding of what the experience or outcome requires:<\/p>\n The activity opposite is an example of how 2 social studies E & Os have been analysed\/highlighted in pink for knowledge and understanding, green for skills (including transferable skills) and underlining where values or attitudes are a vital part of the learning. Please note that sometimes there is overlap between\u00a0 each of these.<\/p>\n Below you can click on a\u00a0selection of interdisciplinary plans (in progress) and examine how our schools are beginning to switch their focus from short term planning of IDL topics, to longer term\u00a0“Umbrella” bundles which have an overarching curricular purpose and :<\/p>\n (kindly donated by Fiona Anderson, HT at Head of Muir PS )<\/p>\n California PS – Local area study early<\/a> level, first<\/a> level and second<\/a> level<\/p>\n Victoria PS – What money means early<\/a> level,\u00a0 first<\/a> level and second<\/a> level<\/p>\n Victoria PS – Winterprise early<\/a> level, first<\/a> level and second<\/a> level<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interdisciplinary Learning in Falkirk Council primary schools is evolving\u00a0in response\u00a0to the advice received from our Chief HMIE in August 2016: Group E & Os together in ways which best suit learners.
