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. You will be supported in the initial stages of developing a whole school strategy tailored to your 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. You will be supported in identifying next steps for your strategy action plan.
