National Summary Reports are part of the cycle for reporting on the implementation of the Scottish Attainment Challenge (SAC). Attainment advisors, in collaboration with their associated local authority, produce reports triannually. This ensures a continuous narrative where thematic next steps are identified and subsequent progress evaluated. Equity and improving outcomes for those children and young people impacted by poverty are referenced throughout. This summary is a collation and analysis of all 32 local authority reports. Section 1.2 provides an overview of the progress being made towards the next steps identified in Triannual Report 2. Illustrations throughout this summary are examples from local authority reports. The key theme for this reporting period was learning, teaching and assessment and is summarised in Section 2. The improvement and progress being made by local authorities is outlined in four key areas: strategies for learning and teaching, assessment, partnerships and professional learning.
