If senior leaders in Scottish education started talking more about the curriculum as SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & EXPERIENCES, as opposed to broad ideological concepts that are too vague to have any practical value, we MIGHT start to see the improvements we’re all aiming for.

It's always important to see the PISA results in a number of wider contexts. As with all data, it's only useful if it informs meaningful and positive change.

It's probably hard to pin down PISA trends to any one factor, but Lindsay Paterson makes a good case for the downgrading of knowledge to be a major issue in Scotland.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the updated MYP principles to practice? #ibmyp

All the best to those taking the National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher RMPS exams today! Remain concentrated, have faith in your capabilities. You can do it! #RMPSexam #BelieveInYourself
