  3. And yet, that is our task! • Learners in school right now are likely to end up in careers that are not yet invented. • School is not like it used to be – where we learned by rote, sat in silence, did not debate or question or challenge and demonstrated our learning through tests and exams. • Assessment is much more varied; skills and knowledge are of equal value; education must change and adapt along with everything else.

  4. Aims of this presentation: • To increase knowledge and understanding of the new Nationals • To understand progression routes through the Senior Phase • To increase confidence in the new system

Our job • To ensure the S4 receive the best educational experience we can give them • To ensure our departments are well-read on the Nationals, to access the most up-to-date resources and information that we can, to be professional in our approach to delivering CfE • To debunk the myth that “S4 are guinea pigs” for a new system that has received much unwarranted criticism
