Project Details

Description

Delivered to groups of teachers and senior leadership in the following Local Authorities:

Argyll and Bute Council
North Lanarkshire Council
South Ayrshire Council
South Lanarkshire Council
West Lothian Council


This professional learning opportunity comprises two sessions to allow participants to try out ideas and actions between workshops. In order to meet the needs of participants, this opportunity will be designed in consultation with the Development Officer or Senior Manager making the booking.

In session 1, we explore a range of themes which can contribute to a whole
school strategy for the 1+2 approach to language learning. Themes include: raising the profile of languages and the place of languages within other priorities in Scottish education (eg NIF, Attainment Challenge, GIRFEC), staff development, progression in L2, collaborative cluster working, wider engagement, transition, and developing a plan for L3. Participants will be supported in the initial stages of developing a whole school strategy tailored to their context.

In session 2, we share examples of progress since session 1, discussing the
challenges, successes and impact. We will consider ways to evaluate a whole school strategy. Participants will be supported in identifying next steps for their strategy action plan.
