Exploring how to apply the Principles of Curriculum Design in our planning at PLC. Impressed with the levels of skill and reflection coming through in professional dialogue, as probationer colleagues supported one another 🌟
Many thanks to Ashley Johnston @stmargaretsps for delivering our first Practitioner Enquiry Session. This helped to develop our understanding of how to carry out a successful enquiry and prompted us to think of possible lines of enquiry for our projects.
At our Action Learning Set we explored the themes: Differentiation, Assessement/Feedback and Pupil independence. We worked together to develop our knowledge further and to identify strategies we can take forward in the classroom.
Learning about achieving a depth and breadth of engaging learning experiences via Maths Through Stories. Huge thanks to Rona Smith @LauriestonPS for sharing with us practical tips, fab resources and her enthusiasm at these valuable sessions. #LaurMTS
Thank you to Matthew Coulter @stjosephsps and Iain Livingstone @BraesHigh for sharing their experience and delivering and informative session on pedagogy.
We appreciate the valuable input from @LouiseAmos5 and @JudeDav60301626 on Specific Learning Differences. This allowed us to see the challenges that some of our learners face and strategies that we can put in place to support them.
We explored how to engage our learners in effective writing lessons. We considered the structures, routines, resources and supports which need to be in place to ensure success for learners, alongside some fun and excitement, of course! 🧙🧹🪄🎃
An incredibly inspiring session on UNCRC, encouraging us to embrace the Rights journey each school is on, to help make a difference. We very much appreciated Headteacher Jacqueline McLaughlin sharing @antonine01's achievements in embedding the Rights within their community.
Many thanks to Mark Murray HT @Francis_Xaviers for delivering an informative and engaging session on high quality assessment. This helped us to reflect on our current practice and identify how these approaches can be implemented to support teaching and learning.
Susanne McCafferty @bainsfordht delivered a very insightful session on Adverse Childhood Experiences. Many sobering facts shared about what our learners might experience, but finishing on a message of hope; we can be the ones to make a difference. ❤️
Developing understanding of how to embed digital technology as a way to enhance learning, teaching and assessment in another fun, informative and interactive session with the @DigiLearnFalk team. Many thanks to Kerry, Lauren and Stuart. 💻🍎🏰☀️
A very informative twilight on Managing Challenging Behaviour. Karen and Catrina's valuable advice on understanding behaviours and supporting learners will help to develop practice, empathy and equity @IWBSFalkirk
Many thanks to Lysa Thomson for delivering an engaging session on the Introduction to Play Pedagogy. This highlighted the many benefits of play and helped us to develop our thinking about planning for play across all stages. @playisthewayFC
Many thanks to Gill Campbell and Christie McAlpine @FalkirkCMHWB for an insightful session, helping us to reflect on supports available to help mental health and wellbeing for both our learners in Falkirk and us. At PLC 2, we explored Components of a Lesson, learning together.
On Thursday, we enjoyed fantastic Outdoor Learning CLPL, learning about the practicalities of providing engaging and relevant outdoor experiences, while also developing our team work and den building skills! A huge thanks to @MissDalyAPS of @airthprimary for leading us.
