At our First Level Programme, @SAC_Reads and Sally Law upskilled us on theories and pedagogical approaches to writing across First Level. We’re now equipped with fresh ideas and a deeper understanding of how to make writing meaningful, inclusive, and purposeful for all learners💡

A fantastic Adaptive Teaching showcase with QMA Cluster Primaries! It was motivating to hear how simple adaptations to the learning environment are making a positive difference for learners, their learning, and their teachers. Huge thanks to our dedicated Key Leads and teachers!

@KingcasePS hosted a fabulous opportunity for colleagues from @GlenburnPrimary and @HeathfieldPS to show, discuss and collaborate on their environmental adaptations so far… A great buzz with teachers helping teachers 👌🏼

Love seeing our training put into action! Pupils explored the outdoors, gathered natural materials and wrote poems inspired by our recent Outdoor Learning training with practitioners in the Girvan Cluster - can’t wait to hear more from Miss Burton at the next session!
Miss Burton took the learning from her recent CLPL course and shared it with pupils — gathering natural materials in different amounts and using them to create number poems filled with figurative language 🌿✨ #OutdoorLearning #Numeracy #Literacy @SA_Learns

Fun, engaging, and supportive sessions as NQTs worked with @SA_Learns and colleagues across similar stages/settings — sharing ideas, building relationships, and a supportive network. Focus was on scaffolding and meaningful, context-based strategies to set learners up for success!

Fantastic to see ideas from our Experiential Learning sessions coming to life in classrooms! Such brilliant, hands-on experiences for our learners. 💡👏🏼
Mrs. McIlwraith applied ideas from her experiential play course as children built aeroplanes, created block structures, and rescued a koala from a bushfire—sparking conversations about design, aerodynamics, and war. @SA_Learns

Perfect weather today for another fantastic outdoor learning session with Girvan cluster practitioners. We shared guidance on structuring lessons, participated in fun cross-curricular activities, and reflected on how to adapt them for our own learners. #outdoorlearning

Great Learning Environments session at Alloway PS. We dipped into the baseline data and had some fabulous professional dialogue around the adaptive practice already in evidence throughout the learning environment. Looking forward to seeing how Adaptations are uplevelled...
