  3. Transition from Broad General Education to Senior Phase • Schools have reviewed their curriculum architecture to enable more flexible responses to meet the needs of learners. • There is an increased focus on meeting the needs of all pupils on an individual basis and schools are planning for progression in learning and skills more effectively. • Extended management teams are more actively involved in ensuring that practices are in place to support individual learners in making appropriate choices and that options are not closed.

  4. Collaboration and Partnership • There is a need for the authority to provide opportunities for staff to collaborate across and within sectors. • There needs to be more involvement of partners in the school improvement planning process.

  5. Breadth and Depth of Learning • Some pupils have the opportunity to study subjects in more depth in the broad general education through electives and this has helped to support their transition into the senior phase. • The authority should ensure schools can evidence that sufficient depth of learning has taken place within third level experiences and outcomes prior to specialisation at fourth level.

  6. Autonomy and Collaboration • Schools have been encouraged to develop their own vision and curriculum structure. Strategic guidance is provided by the curriculum for excellence steering group. • The council expects a high degree of partnership working. At strategic level some very effective partnerships exist. However, the impact of this should be strengthened by improved communication and collaboration at operational level.

  7. Collaborative Work Streams • Curriculum (Frameworks for Literacy, Numeracy and Interdisciplinary Learning) • Assessment, Moderation and Reporting • Quality Improvement

  8. Moving Forward Together • Achieving Transformational Change • Strategic Guidance for Operational Curriculum Planning • New Quality Improvement Model • Validated Self Evaluation of Schools and Centres
