The Great Scottish Schools Bake Off is an interdisciplinary learning experience developed for first, second and third level learners. Learning experiences will be supported in the kitchen learning space in Glow from September 2013. Sharing the learning process in Glow will increase opportunities for learners to access specialists and learn with others across Scotland.
The Great Scottish Schools Bake off outline provides practitioners with an overview of the learning experiences using the NAR flow chart process and the publication ‘Taking a closer look at NAR. Educators should adapt this guidance to meet the needs of the learners they teach.
The Great Scottish Schools Bake Off creates a meaningful context in which learners can be supported to improve their understanding in sourcing local food producers, hygienic and safe practical cooking techniques, healthy eating, financial education and enterprise. A series of measurement learning experiences are being developed to address areas of weakness identified by the Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy. These will work towards improving learners understanding and skill in measurement.
Baking techniques will be demonstrated by leading chefs from across Scotland. These inspirational role models will aim to instil a sense of pride and value in preparing and cooking food with local Scottish ingredients.
