Support for education reform in Scotland
Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Society of Edinburgh launch project to support science teachers in implementing Scotland's new Curriculum for Excellence
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) in partnership with the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) has launched a project to support science teachers in implementing Scotland's new Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), which will be introduced in Scottish schools from August 2010. Chemistry teacher Dr Shona Scheuerl, on a one-year, part-time secondment from Dollar Academy, will develop examples of what chemistry will be taught in the new curriculum .
The CfE reform aims to transform education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3-18. The aims of this new approach to teaching and learning are to enable all young people to become: successful learners; confident individuals; responsible citizens; and effective contributors who can communicate, solve problems, and be enterprising and creative.
