Scott Lavery\’s Enterprise Blog

Following on from the successful pilot project last session at Musselburgh Burgh last session, I am now leading the Joining the Agendas workshop with the whole staff at Wallyford Primary School.  The idea behind this is to allow staff the opportunity to reflect on their practice and give support to them in relation to learning and teaching. 

The major thrust of the work is on joining the agendas (Curriculum for Excellence, Determined to Succeed and Assessment is for Learning) together so all learners can access this and the idea also underpins the fundamentals of good practice contained in our learning and teaching policy.

I have carried out the inital session with the whole staff group and it gave them the opportunity to share with each other how their classrooms are organsied but at the same time they were able to adapt ideas in light of what was shared.  It is important to stress that all staff working in the classrooms were involved in the process and not just the teachers themselves. 

A number of other schools have expressed an interest in this work and I will update the blog as more schools come on board.  I plan to share this with primary enterprise coordinators at our meeting on Tuesday 11 September.
