Welcome back to the new academic session, everyone. We hope you managed to find some sun somewhere – there certainly\u00a0didn’t seem to be\u00a0much of it around this year until\u00a0the new term started.<\/p>\n
First, an approximate date for your diaries and something to look forward to – an Understanding Standards Event is being planned for Scottish Studies towards the end of January 2016. Details are still to be confirmed but we’ll let you have them as soon as we know what they are.<\/p>\n
With regard to the Award and Unit Support Notes, these have now been made available on the open site and can be accessed via the Scottish Studies Award page under the heading ‘Qualification content and\u00a0delivery tools’.\u00a0 The Award Support Notes is the\u00a0fourth item listed and the Support Notes for Units is the fifth.<\/p>\n
As you may be aware,\u00a0different types of\u00a0information about\u00a0each level of the Scottish Studies awards was drawn together in the Starter Packs\u00a0used at\u00a0the May event. Most of this information is available on the SQA web site\u00a0but if you are not familiar with the whereabouts of different course documents and would like an electronic Pack with everything in one place, contact us and we’ll email it to you.\u00a0The packs include Candidate Briefs and Checklists, Assessor checklists and general information and guidance – ideal if you are thinking about delivering any of the awards for the first time.
