This initiative focuses on advancing learner profiling and assessment practices across various schools in Scotland. Key messages emphasize the importance of high-quality formative assessments, learner engagement, and the effective use of portfolios. With a commitment to continuous professional development (CPD) for teachers, the program aims to foster collaboration among primary and secondary schools. By utilizing tools like e-portfolios and blogs, educators are supported in enhancing their practices. The ultimate goal is to celebrate learners' achievements and ensure clear communication with parents about their progress.
