Reading and writing across the curriculum S1-S2
In the words of A Curriculum for Excellence, every teacher is a teacher of literacy. With that in mind, this course allows subject specialists to explore strategies for reading and writing that will allow the literacy needs of their subject to be more effectively met for S1 and S2 pupils.

Ideally, literacy across the curriculum should be part of a whole school development initiative, but this course will give individual teachers a good starting point for developing practice in the classroom and across their department. Run recently in South Lanarkshire.
