I hope you feel that the handbook provides you with useful information about the school, our aims and the educational opportunities we offer your son or daughter. The transfer from primary to secondary school is an important transition in the life of a child and we aim to make this as smooth as possible. A brief overview of this process is outlined in the handbook. As a comprehensive co-educational school, Bannerman High aims to develop the potential of every child, affording equal opportunities to all. We aim to ensure that all our young people learn the facts, techniques and skills to help them build their lives for the future. We try to cater for the common needs of all and for the special aptitudes and interests of individuals so that each child benefits fully from his/her experience in Bannerman. In so doing, we strive to help each pupil attain the very best qualifications through examination success, maintaining high standards for the individual and for the school as a whole. There is a traditional intellectual training across various subject areas but we are also concerned with the personal and social development of the child. Within a safe, caring and orderly environment we aim to encourage in each child respect for themselves and others, tolerance, responsibility and self-discipline, self-confidence, independence and ambition. Bannerman High is a community and we stress, without apology, the importance of politeness, honesty and concern for others. We want children to be happy and we believe our “Ready for Success” strategy supports this, providing a framework upon which each child may build his/her self- discipline both as a pupil and as preparation for the future. Parents and teachers share the same hope for every child- that they will emerge into adult life as good citizens, well prepared and willing to lead useful and fulfilling lives. We want them to achieve the best possible qualifications and to recognize the importance of learning as a life long process. Working together will allow us to ensure that these aspirations become realities. We welcome parents as partners in the educational process and will strive to strengthen this partnership. We need you to do the same. Yours faithfully ?VXfjZa^cZEjgY^Z Headteacher 4 Bannerman High School Handbook 2009 THE AIMS OF THE SCHOOL Bannerman High School is committed to the following aims in order to provide a suitable environment for learning to take place. They are designed to apply to everyone connected with the school. The aim of the school is to provide a safe, happy, ordered and stimulating learning community in which each individual can achieve his or her potential, socially and intellectually, in a caring climate of mutual respect. Working with parents and the wider community, we seek to develop successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.

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

    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
