Advice on Gaelic Education/ Comhairle mu Fhoghlam Gàidhlig

How to use this self-evaluation resource to improve practice?

The PowerPoint presentations identify key messages from the Advice on Gaelic Education. They should be used by practitioners to support improvement in Gaelic Education.

Here are some reflective questions to support professional dialogue and help focus on self-evaluation in Gaelic:

• To what extent are senior leaders and staff critically engaging with the Advice on Gaelic Education and scrutiny findings to improve their outcomes for children and young people?
• How do we ensure that improving provision for Gaelic is central to self-evaluation activity and part of impactful strategic planning for improvement?
• What are our approaches to raising attainment and closing the poverty-related attainment gap across all areas of the curriculum?
• How do we use our understanding of the social, economic and cultural context of the school to inform and shape planning for improvement?
• In what ways do we gather and take account of a range of evidence on the quality of immersion we provide?
• What actions are we taking to ensure learning and teaching is of a consistently high quality?
• How effective is our use of digital technologies to enhance learning, deliver the curriculum and develop skills for learning, life and work?
• What does equality and equity look like for the children and young people in Gaelic Medium Education from Early Learning and Childcare setting, school or community?
• The General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Professional Standards apply in English Medium Education and Gaelic Medium Education, with four bespoke references to Gaelic across standards. How will you embed their use in your setting?
