Literacy Core Approach

Directed by data. Driven through context. Delivered with intention.

“Data empowers us as educators to recognise strengths, identify needs, and track our learners’ progress with precision. Effective use of our assessment information, in all its forms, directs our work and ensures this is always focused and responsive.

Carefully considered contexts drive learning, ensuring our learners’ literacy experiences stay meaningful, relevant, and significant in a continually evolving society and world.

Intentional instruction ensures that every decision we make for our children and young people is purposeful, aligned with clear goals, and informed by best practices.

With these three aspects combined, we have an approach to literacy that is both evidence-based and learner-centred. Through informed, contextualised, and intentional learning, teaching and assessment we continue to improve outcomes and life chances for our children and young people in Fife.”
