Glow is changing, see the new solution
A key priority of Curriculum for Excellence is to improve the life chances for all of Scotland’s children and young people, through improving attainment and raising ambition. Fundamental to this is encouraging and nurturing creativity, to improve the self-esteem, motivation and achievement of our learners.
As CfE is being implemented across Scotland, practitioners are developing their creative teaching and learning as well as nurturing creative skills in learners.
The Scottish Learning Festival 2012 offers practitioners opportunities to learn more about the importance of creative skills for themselves and for their learners.
