CLD Discussion Paper – PDF Download<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you know that the role of Education Scotland is changing?<\/p>\n

With this in mind, we held a series of engagement sessions in March and April this year with Community Learning and Development (CLD) leaders and practitioners from across Scotland. These sessions explored Education Scotland\u2019s changing role from CLD perspectives. We are now pleased to share this discussion paper which brings together the key points from those sessions.<\/p>\n

The paper sets out the context for the\u00a0 engagement sessions, including links to wider education reform, the Independent Review of CLD, recent HM inspection findings, and insights from research. It then summarises the key points from the engagement discussions and the emerging messages for Education Scotland.<\/p>\n

The topics covered include: How CLD contributes to Scotland\u2019s Curriculum Improvement Cycle; The future needs of CLD learners and communities; And what the focus of Education Scotland\u2019s support for CLD in the future should be. The paper offers questions to help guide further discussion around these topics.<\/p>\n

The paper is not meant to be an action plan. Instead, it\u2019s designed to support us to have ongoing conversations with stakeholders and learners about Education Scotland’s future CLD role. We hope to develop further CLD-focused discussion papers as our thinking develops.<\/p>\n

Whether you took part in the original engagement sessions or not, we hope that you will find the paper interesting and we would love to hear what you think.<\/p>\n

We look forward to continuing the conversation with you through some of our upcoming discussion events<\/a> or through our feedback form<\/a>.<\/p>\n
