Resources for Curriculum for Excellence - PowerPoint presentations

To lead and underpin the necessary culture change, there are a number of things that schools and early years centres can do now: 

• promote reflection, debate and discussion about the impact of the values, purposes and principles of Curriculum for Excellence upon teaching and learning policies, and about how to provide an enriched learning experience
• examine forthcoming improvement and development planning through the lens of the values, purposes and principles
• consider how well use is being made of existing flexibility, for example thinking about how to use different ways of organising learning, timetabling and class grouping.

PowerPoint presentations have been produced as a stimulus for discussion and reflection.
