Working it out

Help shape the future of Scotland's children's sector workforce.
Newsletter, issue 5

As part of a programme exploring children's sector workforce development in Scotland, Children in Scotland will publish a series of newsletters.

In this issue, a chance to think about the way ahead. There is a look at the implications of going forward with a Scottish pedagogy model, and an honest examination from professionals as to the advantages and challenges in making this work. The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework provide practical advice and support for employers and staff to ensure that all learning – formal or otherwise – is recognised, and can be easily compared. There is also help from Skills Development Scotland for those who seek flexibility within their existing career. The importance of dance pedagogy is explored by the Scottish Arts Council, and there is a look at how professional development and the early childhood pedagogy model are being revised and updated in Italy, while retaining their fundamental structure. And, find out how Quarriers deal with the difficulties of working in a sector where the lack of one coherent framework results in staff not being equally rewarded, despite carrying out similar roles, and what their suggested way forward is.
