Our qualified Primary tutors are experts in one-to-one Primary tuition and will cover topics including:
Experiences and Outcomes – each curriculum area is broken down to a set of experiences and outcomes (often referred to as the ‘Es and Os’):
Experience – describes the learning
Outcome – what the learning will achieve. This is often explained, from the pupil’s perspective, as an ‘I can’ statement.
Curriculum Levels – there are national levels to describe different stages of learning and progress. For most* children, the expectation is:
Early Level – pre-school to the end of P1
First Level – to the end of P4
Second Level – to the end of P7
Third and Fourth Levels – S1 to S3, with the fourth level broadly equivalent to SCQF
Senior Phase (see Entitlements) – S4 to S6, and equivalents in other settings, where they can continue to develop the four capacities and achieve qualifications *but can be earlier/later for some as applicable, depending upon individual needs and aptitudes
Entitlements – all young people are entitled to:
A coherent curriculum – smooth progression through the experiences and outcomes
A broad general education – the period from age 3 to the end of S3, covering all of the experiences and outcomes across all curriculum areas up to and including the third level, and further experiences and outcomes at the fourth level, chosen to provide greater specialisation and depth
Support – assistance to help learners access the curriculum, for example because of short- or longer-term needs or circumstances, and help to build resilience
Skills for learning, life and work – to develop pre-vocational, enterprising and employability skills, personal skills, high levels of cognitive skills and the opportunity to put learning into a practical context
A senior phase – to prepare for qualifications and develop skills for future learning, life and work
Positive destinations – to support young people to move successfully on to work or further study
Learning Differently – CfE represents a different approach to learning in schools intended to help learners develop skills, knowledge and understanding in more depth.
Examples of how they will learn differently are:
Using technologies in learning – to find material, communicate, create and present
Active learning – being actively engaged, whether mentally or physically, using real life and imaginary situations
Cooperative learning – encouraging thinking and talking together, to discuss ideas and solve problems
Interdisciplinary learning – using links between different areas of learning to develop, reinforce and deepen understanding
Outdoor learning – making use of the outdoor environment for learning
Personalisation and choice – being given choices and being involved in planning how and what they learn. Not ‘one size fits all’
Skills – CfE emphasises the development of skills for learning, life and work. These include higher order skills – thinking about complex issues, problem solving, analysis
and evaluation; creativity; and critical thinking skills – making judgements and decisions, developing arguments and solving complex problems
Assessment is crucial to tracking progress, planning next steps, reporting and involving parents and learners in learning. Evidence of progress can be gathered by learners themselves, and by fellow pupils (peers), parents, teachers and other professionals, e.g. staff who provide youth development opportunities such as the John Muir Award and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
