The document discusses Scotland's new Curriculum for Excellence and how it differs from traditional approaches. It provides an example of a science lesson where students debated a local issue, demonstrating skills like critical thinking.

It emphasizes skills like literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing. Partnerships beyond the classroom are also important for learning.
