As an integral part of our ‘LfS in Falkirk Framework’ we have started a series of CLPL courses aimed at practitioners and managers.\u00a0 These courses will be introducing what we hope will be a useful framework for schools and practitioners to put LfS at the heart of planning, teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

There are lots of other resources and materials which will help in this process, some of which are signposted below:<\/p>\n

More information about the Falkirk LfS framework <\/strong>can be found here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Self evaluation tools:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The General Teaching Council for Scotland have a really useful, simple self evaluation wheel which very quickly helps you to identify what you are currently doing and where there might be potential gaps.<\/p>\n

Scottish Government commissioned Edinburgh University to\u00a0review literature relating to the educational impact of LfS<\/abbr>.\u00a0 The result was published in March 2020 and can be accessed here<\/a><\/p>\n

“The findings are significant for both policy and practice as they position LfS<\/abbr>\u00a0as an excellent context through which all aspects of\u00a0CfE<\/abbr> can flourish, enabling learners to develop and display the values and dispositions outlined in its ‘four capacities’.”<\/p>\n

In 2015 LfS was the subject of one of Education Scotland’s ‘Opening up Great Learning’ documents.\u00a0 It is a great introduction to what LfS is all about as well as showcasing some examples of good practice and providing ideas for taking LfS forward.\u00a0 The PDF can be accessed here<\/a><\/p>\n
