Curriculum for Excellence makes it clear that its aspirations for Scotland’s young people to develop as successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens, are not just for schools: youth work has a powerful part to play. This pilot training session introduces Curriculum for Excellence to learning providers, including youth workers, before having an in-depth look at the Experiences and Outcomes that all children and young people should achieve, regardless of the setting. Delegates will leave with a practical tool to support them to identify Experiences and Outcomes most relevant to youth work.
Intended outcomes:
• Develop your understanding of Curriculum for Excellence and how your work relates to it
• To understand the Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes and to be able to describe your own work in terms of them
• To discover how non-formal learning awards can demonstrate achievement of experiences and outcomes

Training the Trainers CfE: an introduction for youth work
To broaden the capacity of the sector to deliver this training, Youth Scotland is offering a Training for Trainers event to talk you through the training programme and equip you with the skills and support materials necessary to deliver the session yourself.
Delegates are expected to be competent trainers with a Youth Work background and an identified target audience to cascade the training to.
The training that you will be equipped to deliver introduces youth workers to the ethos and rationale of Cfe and provides tools to enable them to identify CfE experiences and outcomes that they are delivering.
