Wealth and Health Inequalities in Glasgow

Back in 1994, a famous Panorama programme Dead Poor focused on the staggering health inequalities between two Glasgow communities; Bearsden and Drumchapel.

The health gaps are undeniable. But those who think everyone in Drumchapel is Dead Poor are mistaken.

Our film Wealth and Health Inequalities in Glasgow offers a more complex and contemporary narrative than Dead Poor.

It showcases the outstanding young people and teachers in communities such as Drumchapel and Glasgow's East end and challenges the stereotypes which exist about wealth and health.

It is available as part of our Multi media Social Issues package or on its own (with accompanying power point presentation) for £15.

News from STV

stv_logo.gif

Modernityscotland, in association with Scotland Today, has an archive of video clips relevant to Higher Modern Studies.

These enable teachers to use ICT in the classroom and allow students to access key information in a lively and accessible format.

STV are currently changing the way the organisation's video clips are presented.

This re-launch should take place soon.

When this happens, all appropriate STV clips will be embedded within the relevant Modernityscotland articles.

Given the high quality of many of these clips, this is really good news.

As soon as the STV site is re-launched, we'll have the clips for you.

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.

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