Education Scotland has now published materials covering all subjects at National 4 and National 5  – the papers are designed to assist those supporting learners as they work towards the new qualifications.

The materials highlight important features of learning which are enhanced or different from previous arrangements and are intended to stimulate professional reflection and dialogue about learning. They provide advice on approaches to learning and teaching which build directly on those used in the 3-15 Broad General Education, in order to promote continuity in learners’ acquisition of knowledge, understanding and skills.

They come as part of the development of exemplar course materials across the full range of National 4 and National 5 qualifications, being managed by Education Scotland in partnership with ADES.

The Professional Focus Papers are now available for download on the web-based course materials site on Glow and the Education Scotland website
