Curriculum for Excellence 2: Assessment

[rayviola11]

I don't get it. Is this mocking Hyslop's attitude or the teachers afraid of the freedom we got?

[elora192]

I like my shiny green folder. We use ours when the TP runs out and we're expected to drip dry. Hope the next version is more absorbent tho!;)

Came from Australia - they have binned the idea - Talking about the Emperor's New Clothes - well - I am the wee boy in the crowd.

Every school should have 400 xboxes for all the knuckleheads who don't wanna learn - they're gonna be fukkin lifetime unemployed anyways + a boxing ring for the hardcases to knock each other's brain cell out. The rest of the kids can then get on with it in peace. All the union bosses, education Hitlers and politicians who agreed to this load of scheisse should be sent to the front line in Afghanistan and put on the IED detection/defusing detail wearing rollerskates.

I'm scottish and I've noticed the comments

are from a lot of teachers and ordenary scots.

Can I just say I'm almost embarrased! This video

breeds negative attitudes and negative comments

by the bucket load. Negativity in scotland

Is a DISEAS! Lets have some optamism about

Something new (CFS), the stautus quo (below)

looks bloody terable!

[punkrockrevel]

@1scot4scotland "ordenary" "embarrased" "DISEAS" "optamism" "terable" - if anything, you alone are more of an embarrassment to the Scottish education system...

I have a shiny green folder. It would be nice if it came with an Outcomes & Experiences showhorn too.

[fifitrixiebella]

Teachers: scared of having to learn a whole new curriculum without their nice ticky box assessment tools and get their head round a new concept. Having been a product of the 5-14 and in the process of learning the curriculum for excellence, it is a welcome change. Forcing teachings to incorporate other subjects and use their imagination? That should be a good teacher anyways! Now you can show you actively do this! Negativity is pointless and that attitude will rub off onto your learners.

[ShonaSutherland1]

If CfE were rated as good as the quantity of paper they produce, they would be brilliant.

I cannot even put into words my dislike towards the system. It's quite frankly a pile of poop.

[malcsarete]

If you are unhappy about CfE I recommend that you let its architects know on the new Engage for Education website. Anyone can register.

Try the 'Streamlining Curriculum for Excellence' workshop, mysteriously removed from the front page but available by clicking on Workshops and Ideas.

Use the power of the internet to really let those who thought this up know what you think. And tell your friends to do the same.

A betrayed parent and teacher.

I use my shiney green folder a lot...it stops the other folders on my shelf from falling over! =D

[19nimrod93]

My dad's a teacher. He was using his shiny green folder as a doorstop the other day.

[ChrisMiller1994]

i'm a secondary school pupil in scotland, could somebody explain the situation to me? i've no idea what they're going on about but i've overheard some remarks about green folders.

[walonsubi]

I can't wait to become a teacher so I can get a shiny green folder

[classicalpete]

I'm so sorry I retired before I got a shiny green folder. I realise that I have wasted my life teaching facts. Kids don't need information: just give them some plasticine and let them be creative.

[walker44444]

Brilliant. I have a shiny green folder and have not even opened it yet.

[joe9songs]

I would rather each time teachers were sent glossy docs, instead I wish their departments were credited with the money that it took to write the stuff they were sent. I hesitate to think how much money has been thrown at glossy documents that teachers dont have time to read, and are full of trash anyway ^^

[alejandropajaro]

Hey!........ Where's my shiny green folder......... MEIN GOTT....... I MUST HAVE A SHINY GREEN FOLDER! The 4th Reich DEMANDS all teachers have a shiny green folder or forfeit  party membership..... glad I've done my VER application.... :-)

[MrDimairt]

On behalf of adult literacy tutors throughout Scotland, I'd like to thank teachers everywhere - especially in Glasgow - for keeping me in a job for the last thirty years.

[veritasetaequitas100]

Hyslop fan I presume.

[knifewrench100]

I'm guessing that you have taught in the secondary school and know full well the challenges of teaching adolescent children? Maybe you could lend your obvious expertise and try working with teachers to improve literacy rather than taking such a smug view of the situation.

[Azlak0507]

@knifewrench100 Love the user name! Practical and safe *stabs self*

[MrZogTheFrog]

[lysander1]

[trustingsidekick]
