How to use this site

This website is being developed to provide resources for teachers of all curricular areas.

Use search lessons to find the lesson/project idea you want or browse curriculum resources.

For example, as a Modern Studies teacher you may search as follows:

• search for resources on the theme ‘Communities’ OR
• search using the curricular area ‘Social Studies’ to see the themes covered, OR
• select both to narrow your search to a particular theme in a particular curricular area.

Lesson/project ideas

Your search results will provide you with a list of lesson/project ideas with a description. Wherever possible there is both a lesson topic (for example, Structures) and a project outline (in this example, Building Bridges) with a more in-depth study and application of the lesson topic.

Each of the ideas will also provide guidance on:

1. How to deliver enterprise in education themes, including guidance on how to put the learning into a real context, how to encourage the pupils to participate and take responsibility for their part in the learning and become independent learners.
2. How to integrate the curriculum and make cross-curricular links with other areas in the school.
3. Age and stage, although this is fairly flexible.
4. Time allocation for each lesson/project idea.
5. Resources such as images, web pages, reference materials.
6. How to record the 4 capacities of ACfE.
7. How to include links with local businesses and communities.
8. How this approach will develop career opportunities.
9. How to review and reflect on learning – AifL recording and progression.
10. Addressing other cross-curricular themes, as outlined by LTScotland and which should be achieved through a variety of teaching methods.
