Teacher CPD

Curriculum for Excellence

We are currently developing Continuing Professional Development for teachers that incorporate the new Curriculum for Excellence Science learning outcomes.

These courses aim to develop staff confidence in using natural resources within the nursery environment in order to stimulate children’s interest and curiosity about their natural environment.

The sessions involve interactive workshops, reflection and discussion.
