Primary Curriculum and Creative Learning By Dimensions

"All children and young people in Scotland have an entitlement to a curriculum which will support them in developing their values and beliefs and enable them to:

• achieve the highest possible levels of literacy, numeracy and cognitive skills;
• develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work;
• develop knowledge and understanding of society, the world and Scotland's place in it;
• experience challenge and success so that they can develop well-informed views and act responsibly." http://bit.ly/dmVUlN

We believe the Dimensions Curriculum for Excellence Toolkit can help you to achieve these goals! Dimensions is designed using the principles of effective interdisciplinary learning and incorporates a range of themes, including pupil voice projects planned around clear purposes. It is based upon experiences and outcomes drawn from different curriculum areas and subjects within them, ensuring progression in skills through use of the Skills Ladder and advancement in knowledge and understanding through concept mapping. Important aspects such as enterprise, citizenship, sustainable development, international education and creativity are all featured in the Dimensions CfE Model.
