AHDS Annual Conference 2016 - Alison Drever

Transforming lives through learningDocument title

Alison Drever, Gail Copland, Cara Cooper, Sharon Hayward

Sharing ideas and examples



‘We will work with schools to focus the curriculum to meet children’s needs fully and close the gap in early years settings and primary schools. For example, we will share and develop ways in which the vocabulary gap can be closed through a literacy-rich curriculum in P1-3 from August 2016. We will expect all schools to have clear strategies in place across the curriculum in school session 2016-17 to reduce the gap in their context.’
