One of the key aims of "Curriculum for Excellence" in Scotland is for greater teacher autonomy – including enabling teachers to become curriculum developers. There is therefore a need for teachers to be supported in undertaking this role. The recent report, "Teaching Scotland’s Future" (Donaldson, 2011), which was the outcome of a national review of teacher education in Scotland, suggests how this support can best be provided, including the role of head teachers and other practitioners in leading curriculum development. This paper will focus on the need for partnership working and a clear understanding of individual roles and responsibilities among schools, professional networks, local authorities and universities. It will provide an overview of the current position in Scotland, where proposals which involve all of the above partners will shortly be in place to implement the recommendations of "Teaching Scotland’s Future" and support the development of teachers as curriculum developers.
