6. Collaborative Partnership
This collaborative partnership supported the development of the module 1.
This has continued as feedback from module 1 was incorporated into module 2 .

8. Positive Aspects of this Collaborative Project
The experience of co-creating an OER with the OEPS project has been an extremely positive and worthwhile one. This opportunity has provided valuable professional learning opportunities and has been the catalyst for conversations about future modules on a range of topics.
The decision was made to use this platform as it was felt it will help support:
a continuity of approaches and support across Scotland
colleagues in schools and local authorities adapt and the material to fit within their local context
