New Qualifications - Support for Parents and Carers |
|
Thursday, 15 December 2011 11:30 |

SQA has introduced a new parent and carer section of its website. It has a range of resources, including · parent and carer leaflet, to help parents and carers understand the changes to national qualifications · Mythbuster videos answer some of the most common questions · jargon buster to help explain the terms being used by SQA while developing the qualifications · a chart which tells you what qualifications young people will study depending on the school year they are in now.
SQA is also publishing draft documents on the website for feedback as it develops the new qualifications. These include the draft Course Assessment Specifications for National 5. The documents are quite technical and are aimed at teachers and education specialists but SQA also welcomes feedback from parents via Have Your Say – Have your say.
SQA has also recently published draft Unit Specifications for Higher. Feedback on the latest documents can be given until 31 January 2012.

We are the Scottish Borders Youth Commission on Bullying. We have been appointed as Youth Commissioners by Scottish Borders Council to make evidenced recommendations for a new approach to policy for preventing and managing bullying behaviour.
We are young people aged 14-22 years old who live, work, or study in the Scottish Borders. We are actively gathering evidence from a wide range of sources - we need the views of pupils, parents, teachers, and other professionals to help us shape our recommendations.
We have two surveys available for completion, we would really like you to complete the relevant survey (this may be both if you are both a member of staff and a parent of a school aged child). Both surveys are short and should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. · For School Staff (including teachers, class room assistants, school management, youth workers, Home School Link, LIO's etc)
www.surveymonkey.com/sbycStaff · For Parents/Carers
www.surveymonkey.com/sbycParent This survey will be available for completion until Friday 27th January 2012. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. |
