In a significant new development Education Scotland has now 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.

Education Scotland is inviting applications from secondary physics teachers for a two-week placement at CERN in November 2012. The placement has been arranged in collaboration with education and scientific staff at CERN, and is funded by the Scottish Government. We are seeking two teachers who will work together to develop material and approaches to support the teaching of physics in the sciences curriculum area.

Education Scotland has launched a national challenge for learners to design a double-sided billboard to be seen by people entering and leaving Scotland.
The design challenge is being run through the Marks on the Landscape website , an interdisciplinary learning resource focussed on creativity skills, within the learning context of the land regeneration project Fife Earth.
The challenge is aimed at those working within second, third and fourth curriculum levels. It could be incorporated into planning for a number of curriculum areas including art and design, social studies, religious and moral education, technologies and sciences, and the themes of sustainability and global citizenship.
