Learning in Scotland's Communities

What we mean by a learning community A learning community seeks to address the learning needs of its locality through partnership. It uses the strengths of institutions, public, private and voluntary services, and community groups to enable children, young people and adults to achieve to their full potential. Learning communities use learning as a way to build community capacity, and to promote social cohesion, social inclusion, regeneration and economic development.

An international perspective Although learning often takes place within formal settings and learning environments, a great deal of valuable learning also takes place either deliberately or informally in everyday life. Policy makers in OECD countries have become increasingly aware that this represents a rich source of human capital OECD 2010

Drivers of change Curriculum for Excellence Skills for Scotland Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) Community capacity building in challenging economic times Inequalities matter to all of us Outcomes based approach to planning and evaluation

Two relate to learning within curriculum areas and inter-disciplinary learning. The other two – the ethos and life of the school as a community and broader opportunities for achievement in the outside world – are now seen as equally important. BtC 5, Scottish Government, 2010 Curriculum for Excellence Four contexts for learning

Skills for Scotland CLD is a vitally important part of the jigsaw, particularly for those who have been away from work and learning for a long time and may need more intensive, personalised support. Scottish Government 2010

Inequalities Within Scotland there continues to be concern about the performance of pupils at the low end of the attainment spectrum. Recent evidence shows that attainment (as measured by the National Qualifications examination system) of the lowest 20 percent is actually flat at a time when increases are being seen at the top end of the spectrum. (OECD, 2007)

Outcomes-based planning and evaluation Whilst the outcomes based approach is not yet fully developed across the public sector, it is worth pursuing and is the most likely model to result in a cohesive approach to spend across the public sector. In short, we spend large amounts of money dealing with negative outcomes. COSLA, 2010

What we know about learning communities

What does this mean? Impacts on young people and adults is good or better in 80% of inspections Community achievement is good or better in 80% of inspections Improvements in performance still presents challenges for many providers Self-evaluation for improvement also presents challenges for many

Key themes from inspection evidence CLD providers as partners with schools in delivering Curriculum for Excellence Schools and others as partners in delivering CLD outcomes

CLD providers support young people well to achieve Accredited achievement is developing well Schools and early years are more active in supporting parents’ learning Secondary schools are increasingly supporting volunteering in the community Emerging examples of effective self-evaluation and demonstrating outcomes Features of effective practice

Areas for improvement Build on good practice in engaging parents Further develop accredited volunteering Improve joint planning and evaluation Improve capacity to demonstrate outcomes Cohere around the purposes of CfE Increase joint CPD amongst practitioners

Appendix 1: Examples of how programmes within learning communities are beginning to plan their outcomes using the experiences and outcomes of Curriculum for Excellence Appendix 2: Examples of schools and centres that contribute well to CLD outcomes Appendices
