Education Scotland has launched a new strategic thinking kit, Promoting Innovative Practice and Transformative Change, to promote the visioning and planning needed for change as educational establishments and services address the challenges and priorities of today’s evolving education system.

A collection of videos showing how education establishments and communities have used the toolkit are available the Journey to Excellence website.

Opening up the Future was launched on 4 December, highlighting the new approaches being used to make change happen. Read Graham Leicester’s review of the day published in the Scotsman on 5th December:
