This resource will support practitioners at the primary stages with planning and delivering Gaelic Learner Education (GLE) as part of a 1+2 approach to languages. These materials were used at a conference organised by the Scottish Government and the Consortium for GLE.

How to use this resource

These materials may be used alongside national guidance when delivering Gaelic language as part of a 1+2 approach. Here are some reflective questions to consider when using this resource:

• How well are you building on prior learning?
• Do you have a body of evidence to support assessment judgements and decisions about next steps?
  · Do you make best use of partners and other organisations to provide opportunities for children to develop and apply their skills in Gaelic?
• How confident are you that learning and teaching approaches are varied, active and differentiated, and provide effective support and challenge?
• Are you ensuring learners receive high-quality feedback and have an understanding of their progress and what they need to do to improve?
