International Activities

International Activities

Over the last 15 years, there has been increasing international recognition of the success of 'the Scottish approach' to accountability and improvement.  HM Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) has played a vital role in developing this approach, which is built on an explicit combination of internal and external evaluation.  HMIE receives frequent requests to contribute to thinking about quality improvement in countries across the world.  HM Inspectors are frequently invited to participate in a variety of events and activities abroad.  They also regularly receive international visitors who are interested in their work and, in particular, in their approaches to evaluation.

Learning Together: International education: responsible, global citizens:
This guide is part of the Learning together series which aims to support schools and centres as they implement Curriculum for Excellence. It aims to help teachers reflect on and improve their practice in international education. Inspectors have visited a number of schools and centres, and worked with a wide range of practitioners and stakeholders to develop this resource. We hope that the examples of good practice provided in this guide will stimulate professional discussion about how to improve the curriculum to prepare young people for life in an ever-changing, globalised society.
