CfE represents a different approach to learning in schools intended to help learners develop skills, knowledge and understanding in more depth.

Examples of how children and young people will learn differently are

•Using technologies in learning –to find material, communicate, create and present

•Active learning –being actively engaged, whether mentally or physically, using real life and imaginary situations

•Cooperative learning –encouraging thinking and talking together, to discuss ideas and solve problems

•Interdisciplinary learning –using links between different areas of learning to develop, reinforce and deepen understanding

•Outdoor learning –making use of the outdoor environment for learning

•Personalisation and choice –being given choices and being involved in planning how and what they learn. Not ‘one size fits all’
