It was great to get together with learners from our secondary schools and hear how they would like to influence their schools and communities as part of Midlothian's Learners Conference! Fantastic key note from our new Children's Commissioner, what a fab day! @CYPCS @mideduteam

[Nicola Killean @NicolaKillean]

Delighted to be with 80 young people from Midlothian today who shared great examples of where they were enjoying their rights and where they had concerns. Wonderful to see @mideduteam nurturing these young human rights defenders. @CYPCS

[Bruce Robertson @BruceNextLevel]

A brilliant example of the Next Level Educational ‘Train the Trainer’ programme in action at Penicuik High School👇

I spent a day training a group of staff on a specific theme (in this case, behaviour management), with group members then leading similar sessions with their teams.

It was great to see the set of summary notes produced on ‘the behaviour curriculum’ by a middle leader who was part of the initial training group, and to hear about the positive impact this work has had almost immediately 😊

If we really want to increase pupils' sense of belonging in schools, we need to find ways to measure the concept, writes @JeanGrossCBE

@Teachers4Perm Thank you for the clarity!

[Jen Hodson @HoddersJ]

@Teachers4Perm What survey did this data come from? There's close to 3000 probationers in Scotland and this survey looks like it's only accounting for around 300 probationers?

💭An extremely thought provoking 2 days @YouthSportTrust Conference Awards 25.

🏆Beyond proud of @NewbattlePE being highly commended for outstanding secondary practice amongst UK & International schools.

[Fiona Leadbeater @FionaLeadbeater]

Adaptive teaching = high quality teaching
Often good teachers don’t realise what they are actually doing to adapt to learners’ needs; it’s done on autopilot.
Breaking down the granular detail of practice&being able to verbalise WHY it works for each learner is so valuable.

[Gillian Hamilton @GGillHHam1]

Thanks for having me @NewbattleCHSHT I learned so much from my discussions with your students. The diversity of pathways was so impressive - everyone spoke so confidently about the purpose of their learning, how the school supports them - and their aspirations for the future.

[Gib McMillan @NewbattleCHSHT]

Thank you very much to @GGillHHam1 for the time spent in our school. Our students spoke brilliantly about their learner pathways and how the wider SCQF helps them. #proudHT #AIMHIGHER

@Doug_Lemov Not a book, but watching Still Game and Scot Squad is a must.

[Midlothian Raising Attainment Team @mid_attainment]

Another fantastic session with our primary NQTs this time with a focus on grammar and teaching sentence structure. Lots of 💡moments and great enthusiasm from all that were there! @mideduteam @HoddersJ

[Midlothian Raising Attainment Team @mid_attainment]

We loved seeing so many of our Midlothian NQTs today at our session on Reading Comprehension. Thanks to those who volunteered to wear our 'summarising sombreros' to demonstrate summarising the story of Little Red. 🐺

Delighted that our very own Miss Forbes was quoted in @afPE_PE sharing how children's rights are at the core of PE lessons in @LasswadeHSC: "A respectful PE lesson... involves positive relationships, highly differentiated practice and student voice & autonomy" Well said! @midgov
