The information was requested in a questionnaire and we have received a large number of responses. These are the responses from school staff who are not teachers or senior management As these submissions are sensitive in nature they have been anonymised wherever requested and the names of teaching staff have been removed, as that may lead to individuals working in schools or local authorities being identified.

  • John Chassar Moir (1900–1977) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) John Chassar Moir (1900–1977) [1] By: Haskett, Dorothy Ciardullo, Patsy Keywords: fistulas [2] John Chassar Moir lived in the UK during the twentieth century and helped develop techniques to improve the health of pregnant women. Moir helped to discover compounds that doctors could administer to women after childbirth to prevent life-threatening blood loss. Those compounds included the ergot alkaloid called ergometrine, also called ergonovine, and d-lysergic acid beta- propanolamide. Moir tested ergometrine in postpartum patients and documented that it helped prevent or lessen postpartum hemorrhage in women. Moir also developed methods to treat tears between the bladder and the vagina [3], called vesico-vaginal fistulas, that occur due to complications of childbirth, and that cause urinary incontinence in women who have them. Moir was born in the county of Angus, Scotland, on 21 March 1900, the fourth and youngest child to Isabella Pirie and John Moir. In Angus, the younger Moir grew up in the coastal town of Montrose. His father was a wine merchant who owned a grocery store called William Moir and Sons. Moir studied science and German language during his education at the Montrose Academy in Angus. Moir studied medicine and received his Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS) and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) in 1922 from the University of Edinburgh [4] in Edinburgh, Scotland. After receiving his degrees, he studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, and in Berlin, Germany, where he continued his study of German, and at the Johns Hopkins Hospital [5] in the United States.

    WISCONSIN STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts WisconsinWisconsin Department Department ofof Public Public Instruction Instruction WISCONSIN STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Carolyn Stanford Taylor, State Superintendent Madison, Wisconsin This publication is available from: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction 125 South Webster Street Madison, WI 53703 (608) 266-8960 dpi.wi.gov/ela May 2020 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, creed, age, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, marital status or parental status, sexual orientation, or ability and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts of America and other designated youth groups. Wisconsin Standards for English Language Arts ii Foreword On May 27, 2020, I formally adopted the Wisconsin Standards for English Language Arts. This revised set of academic standards provides a foundational framework identifying what knowledge and skills Wisconsin students in English language arts should learn at different grade levels or bands of grades. The adoption of this revised set of standards was part of a concerted effort led by Wisconsin educators and stakeholders who shared their expertise in English language arts and teaching from kindergarten through higher education. Feedback was provided by the public and the Wisconsin State Legislature for the writing committee to consider as part of Wisconsin’s Academic Standards review and revision process. English language arts is an essential part of a comprehensive PK-12 education for all students. Through English language arts, Wisconsin students learn to use literacy to understand and improve themselves and their worlds.

  • National Qualifications: a Short History
    National Qualifications: a short history This report was produced by James McVittie in October 2008. During the preparations for a recent consultation on qualification design at SCQF levels 4–5, many of the issues that came up had been considered, discussed, and even consulted on in the past. Given the changes that are afoot, and developments that are being discussed, now seems to be the right moment to document this history. This brief paper summarises the reviews over the last 30 years of the national school qualifications in Scotland, and identifies issues that have been raised in successive reforms and the extent to which they have been resolved. 1 1 Reports and development programmes 1.1 Munn and Dunning (1977) The Munn and Dunning reports were commissioned to address weaknesses in the provision of courses and qualifications to meet the needs of the full ability range, and to ensure appropriate progression to Higher Grade. Concerns included the fact that a substantial minority of school leavers held no nationally-recognised certificate recording their achievements in school, and that the Ordinary Grade examination was insufficiently challenging for the most able students. Moreover, these students were then expected to complete the much more demanding Higher course in only two terms ― the notorious ‘two-term dash’. Both reports were published in 1977. The Munn Committee reported on the curriculum and recommended: ♦ a restructuring of the curriculum in S3 and S4 to meet the needs of students of all abilities ♦ the introduction of approaches
