Curriculum for Excellence support

To help you use SHM to deliver Curriculum for Excellence, we've produced support in the form of Delivering the Curriculum for Excellence Guides. These are available for Early, First and Second levels, and when used alongside the SHM Teaching File, help you to plan your lessons to deliver the outcomes and experiences of the new curriculum, including suggestions for embedding AiFL into your teaching, introducing a more active approach to learning and developing mathematical thinking skills in relevant contexts.

The Guides are available as part of the Complete Reference Packs, or to buy separately.

You can also download free Curriculum for Excellence matching charts| to see how each level of SHM is linked to the new curriculum.
