Learning Pathways File, Book, Laminated Card PLODs and CD ROM

We have selected common experiences and supported the adults with some possible lines of development that they offer for learning for children 3-7. The set comes with a methadology book by Claire Warden, which suggests some models being used across the UK to develop active learning. Kate Hookham has supported the work through curriculum sheets and P.L.O.D. cards. The Curriculum for Excellence is still evolving in Scotland and so we have maintained the 5-14 grids with additional support notes for Curriculum for Excellence. The learning is detailed as a concept, attitude or skill and as such can be transferred across curricula. This set is presented in an easy to use box system.
