The Early Level Portal was designed by Scottish Borders Council to enable all Early Level (approximately 2 \u2013 6 years old) Educators to easily access all the information they might need to inform and develop best practice within their settings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It details the Early Level approach to LEARNING, TEACHING & ASSESSMENT<\/a> with clear guidance on Early Level Pedagogy and was created in line with the Scottish Borders Council\u2019s Learning Teaching and Assessment Framework.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
