Education Scotland Pilot Curriculum Review of Computing Science
The 2021 OECD report on Scotland’s curriculum recognised the strengths of Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), and made a range of recommendations to ensure that this strength would persist into the future including:
“Develop a systematic approach to curriculum review. Scotland could consider establishing a curriculum review cycle with a planned timeframe and specific review agenda, led by the specialist stand-alone agency”.
In line with this recommendation Education Scotland, in partnership with STACS are undertaking a pilot curriculum review of Computing Science. While this is a pilot, the outcomes are just as valid as non-pilot activities and the pilot will allow us to learn from the process in order to support the future Technologies area review.
Education Scotland invites educators across all sectors (including PTs/FHs, DHTs and HTs), ELC, primary, secondary, college, university and other key stakeholders to apply to be part of this workshop.
The workshop will take place on the 26th November 2024 from 10am until 3:30pm in Glasgow.
Please register you interest here and you will be contacted if you have been allocated a place at this workshop.
Closing date for registration is 3rd November 2024 and if you have been allocated a space at the workshop you will be notified by Friday the 8th November 2024.
We advise you hold the date in your calendars and ensure you have permission to attend from your head teacher or equivalent prior to registering an interest in attending this workshop.
