  • 'My school report' at Inveravon Primary School
    Video in which children and teachers explain how learners at Inveravon Primary School use weekly reflections to set themselves targets for skills they want to develop. They also set themselves longer term targets and write an annual report. The process allows them to take responsibility for their learning, assess how they have developed their strengths, think about strategies to address the areas where they are less strong and develop resilience. A parent also gives her view about the reports. Part of the Opening up the Future resource on Journey to Excellence website.
