The Highland Council CPD Reflection Framework and The Highland Model

Over the last five years, groups of teachers and schools in The Highland Council have been on a CPD journey exploring ways of fostering the CfE capacities and raising achievement. Its aims were to:

develop a coherent conception of formative assessment
explore the links between formative assessment and approaches to making thinking explicit as a powerful way of fostering the CfE capacities
encourage teacher learning communities which foster reflective professionals through a variety of approaches to CPD
raise achievement, motivation and confidence

We are delighted to showcase a brief introduction to this work, together with a paper by Professor Paul Black and a link to an evaluation report which SQA commissioned in 2008.
