Members are reminded that the season of Working Time Agreements is here. Given the increasing workload implications of National 4 and 5, it would be advisable to review the allocation of time in the school agreement devoted to curriculum development and Formal Assessment.

Clearly time would be needed to be taken from elsewhere. Members should therefore consider what time allocation they believe sufficient and what has to be sacrificed from the other “priorities”. Every school will be different but it is important that members contribute to the issue.
