This course provides the opportunity to extend/deepen knowledge and understanding of the responsibilities of all practitioners for literacy, numeracy and health and well-being, and associated principles and practices, in relation to the experiences and outcomes of CfE. Participants will extend their knowledge, understanding, application and evaluation of cross-disciplinary learning and teaching practices; use action research based approaches, to design, implement, and reflect on, innovative cross-disciplinary classroom-based learning and teaching practices/interventions that will develop a number of the capacities of Curriculum for Excellence, at the same time gathering robust pupil learning attributes data to evidence the impact of these practices.

1st attempt: Formative assessment activities are embedded in the distance learning materials to prompt and structure regular participant-tutor contacts and to scaffold the final summative assessment activity. The summative assessment instrument requires participants to plan, implement and evaluate innovative cross-disciplinary practices/interventions focussed in an area of their choice. Summative assessment will be two-part (equivalent 6000-8000 words), covering the Learning Outcomes highlighted above, and based on: 1. Oral presentation on cross curricular project/intervention (10-15 minutes) with supporting portfolio of evidence (3000 words equivalent) highlighting: - the underpinning theoretical principles and concepts (with reference to reading/research) and how these link to your learning and associated enhanced practice; - the action research frame used to measure the impact of your cross curricular practices/interventions; - the findings and a critical analysis of the evidence gathered in terms of pupil learning gains and implications for own practice. The presentation to be followed by a discussion with the panel to explore issues which arose. 2. Submission of a best practice teaching resource or plan embedded in one of the cross curricular themes, and appropriate to age and stage, for potential use by other practitioners with supporting guidance notes including references to cross curricular principles/practices, related reading/research and implementation and impact measurement strategies (3000 words). Assessment will be criteria-based. Resit: There will be one opportunity to resubmit the work completed, as revised to take account of identified inadequacies in the original.
