We are starting from a point where there is very minimal international focus across the school and Partnership. I am a new Head Teacher to the school and have begun to identify priorities for the forthcoming session. Having successfully built a nationally acclaimed level (Education Scotland) of activities and learning opportunities with a Global Citizenship focus, I am confident that I can transfer some of the knowledge and skills to my new setting.Currently French is taught from Primary 5-7 and is steadily being introduced into younger stages. In line with the Scottish Government 1+2 languages policy, all pupils at Primary 1 should begin one modern language (French as per our local authority policy) and an additional language introduced at Primary 5. This model should be embedded by 2020. Having just taken part in an Education Scotland and ADES review of the policy, it is clear that we still require to build teacher confidence, particularly in the second language taught. I will attend the total immersion course as organised by LFEE to refresh my teaching skills and grammatical knowledge of Spanish as it is many years since I have used it properly and I need a refresher opportunity. Also I am lacking in resources, activities and ICT links for the teaching of Spanish to younger Primary aged pupils. The course is organised to provide intensive language training, opportunities to discuss methodology, provide resources and ideas for lessons, enable a cultural awareness with a focus on education systems. Upon return I will then be modeling teaching of Spanish within the classroom and organising a series of local training opportunities for classroom practitioners. These will be built in to the CPD calendar from August 2016 to enable staff to attend. I also aim to extend the training to colleagues at cluster, local area and authority wide level. I am in the position of lead Head Teacher on the Modern Languages curricular group and well placed to deliver to a wide range of staff. I shall also be providing a feedback summary of the training undertaken to local staff, authority Quality Improvement Managers and also the Director of Education. I will compile an article for the internal council sharing magazine. Finally I aim to have a parental information session and if there is the appetite, roll classes out in to the community. Pupils and staff will feel supported in the learning of languages as part of their daily routine. I will gain confidence to deliver int he classroom and support staff at various levels. It will also help to raise the profile of the importance of learning languages within the context of skills for life and work. Finally it will assist us in moving closer to the 1+2 languages policy implementation target of 2020.
