Well done to the practitioners who completed Midlothians Modern Apprentice programme and collected their awards today . #earlyyears #modernapprentice @MidEarly @Midworkforcedev @skillsdevscot
We were so delighted to share our pedagogy and practice today with policy advisers from @ELCScotGov and talk about our #stem journey and the work we’ve done since our #elcinnovationaward Our enthusiasm seems to be catching! 🤩 @MidEarly @StobhillPS @STEMedscot @mideduteam
Great to see the settings embedding subitizing from the work we are doing with Glasgow University looking at Learning Trajectories. #stem @MidEarly #elcnumeracy
Are we getting our approach right in Scotland? If it didn’t happen in nursery, why is it happening in P1? If it happened in nursery, why isn’t it happening in P1? #SL22
#SLF22 session on GIRFEC (refresh): what does this mean for me? Interesting feedback from group of care experienced C&YP: “none of us knew what GIRFEC was despite being in the care system” “it’s meant for us but we’re not involved in it” Will focus on refresh address this? 🤔🤞
GIRFEC refresher- What does this mean to me? #SLF22 hearing from young people and staff about the importance of relationships.
Lots of resources available at PlayBase to support #MathsWeekScot
Day 2 #SLF2022 and a very powerful presentation from Leslee Udwin. Putting the Whole Child at the Centre:The Missing Third Dimension of Early Years.
Supporting Health and Well-being in ELC through trauma informed practice. Really inspiring ethos and practice shared by Glenburn ELCC and Lullaby Lane nurseries. #SLF2022
Looking forward to #SLF2022 -Placing Learners at the Heart of Scottish Education.
