Customer Feedback Thanks to everyone who completed our online survey at the end of last term. When you embark on asking people for their views you've got to be prepared to take the odd knock on the chin as well as, hopefully, some good news. Well, the good news is, most of your views were good news!
RedDay4Haiti Glasgow the Caring City is organising RedDay4Haiti on Friday 5 February.

It is a superb chance for Modern Studies departments to show that Modern Studies can make a difference.

Please try to wear red on 5/02/10, organise some fundraising and show the world that Scotland cares.

Success in Higher Modern Studies We are delighted that this great revision textbook is now back on the market. There were complicated distribution problems which made this book hard to get a hold of in 2008-09. Thankfully, these have now been resolved and the book is now available for purchase. The whole revision textbook market is, for obvious reasons, pretty crowded. There are other revision textbooks for Higher Modern Studies and it would be childish, and simply wrong, to say that the others aren't that good.

Easter updates

Now that the Prelims are over, its very much the "business end" of things in Higher Modern Studies.

We know this because, over the years, the google analytics don't lie!

The numbers logging into the site really increase over the Easter period and the exam itself in May.

The numbers of people logging on to the site the morning of the exam is the scariest of all!

There will be a fair bit of new stuff going on the site over Easter.

Scottish Government funding, inequalities in Glasgow, Zuma's South Africa, the return of the Republicans in the USA, media freedoms in China, are just some of the new articles that are currently being written.

That's not to mention a full and relevant update on anything which happens once the General Election is called.

The word is, the most likely date is May 6, a couple of weeks before the Modern Studies exam on May 25.

So if you do Electoral Systems, Voting and Political Attitudes (and who doesn't?), we'll have all the good stuff for you.

And a fair bit of fun during the campaign itself :-)

Modern UK Politics and A Curriculum for Excellence

A Curriculum for Excellence (ACfE) is the Scottish Government's key initiative to improve education in Scotland.

It seeks to improve not just attainment in National Qualifications, but wider skills and capacities in young people for participation in a global society.

These are;

  • Developing successful learners
  • Developing confident individuals
  • Developing responsible citizens
  • Developing effective contributors

Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education (HMIe) has published an important document on what ACfE means for Modern Studies.

Likewise, Learning Teaching Scotland (LTS) has a website dedicated to good practice in developing A Curriculum for Excellence.

It has been written to prepare students for the Higher Modern Studies exam and contains activities within the book to reinforce learning of the key issues in UK Politics.

But, Modern Studies is for life, not just a one off exam.
