Update

As requested by you we have a FREE Word 2007 update workshop at Reid Kerr College on Thursday 11 December from 9.30 until 12.30 with supporting notes for you to take away. This has been specifically designed to include a selection of the Word Processing features (some of the trickier ones) required in the HN Admin & and IT units - ITB: WP and Presentation Applications (DE1L 34) and ITB: Advanced Word Processing (DE2G 35). You can book online at http://www.sfeu.ac.uk/events/book/2845. This is an opportunity to update your skills for the latest software so sign up NOW as places are limited.

I've been invited to a seminar which will inform the development of a framework for assessment to support Curriculum for Excellence. The seminars are an early stage of an engagement process and the focus will be on -

- What and how do we assess?
- Planning for assessment
- Sharing expectations and standards
- Reporting and using assessment information
- Improvement and accountability
- Continuous professional development

Watch this space for feedback.

The subject mentors met recently to start planning next year's objectives and discuss how best we can make an impact. As always your input in invaluable so please let me have your thoughts and views on what you would like us to do that would make a difference. Keep your emails coming.
