Merry Christmas, everyone. 🎄

Out of office on and en route to Eire for a few days.

Wishing everyone a peaceful break.

See you all in the new term!

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@CraigiebarnsPS Mr McGregor came into the office full of Christmas cheer, saying how fantastic this was!

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

Love the work of @AmandaDatnow & Park.

Principles - not just practices.

#Equity

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@mrdissent @CarolCampbell4 @scotgov @ScotGovEdu @AlmaHarris1 @JennyGilruth Is the 'stretch' in the aim, or in relation to the time period to achieve the aim?

"Stretch aims should be set for 2025/26 and include an outline trajectory for progress; and should be informed by, and inform, school plans for progress."

i.e. have aims for 24, 25 & 26.

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@CarolCampbell4 @mrdissent @anna_d_beck @scotgov @ScotGovEdu @AlmaHarris1 @JennyGilruth I've always wondered how you can have excellence without equity? Then I wonder - how do people actually conceptualise 'equity'. I really should stop wondering...

@StNiniansRCDund @TraceyS111 One of my faves! :)

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

It was an amazing evening, but this performance just got me. Really moving. Molly was a superstar. The joy on the young people's faces was something else. ❤️

Just home from @stpaulsdundee's evening of entertainment in the Verdant Works in aid of Dundee Heritage Trust.🎄

Blown away by the talent in our schools & commitment of staff. ❤️

@TomMC93 @Bruce_NextLevel Check you, Tom! Hope you take some of that luck into ⚽️

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

Home from a wonderful evening at @BraeviewAcademy's Christmas Concert. What fabulous talent! Well done to the music department, our Instrumental Music Service & all young people. Loved it!

#DundeeLearning

Let's hope Man Utd don't ruin my festive spirit!

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@StNiniansRCDund @TraceyS111 Wonderful! Well done team!

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

Fantastic afternoon meeting the @harrisacdundee Senior Leadership Team & EO for an Attainment Review. Lots of strengths and really clear & ambitious plans for further improvement. Really impressed with approaches to ensure effective use of data. Reminded me of image! Thanks all.

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

Great morning in @stpaulsdundee for Attainment Review. Enjoyed discussion with HT and Education Officer. Important strengths in 2023 but school more focused on actions & strategies to further improve outcomes for all. Thank you to all staff. ❤️ @MelAinscow @ChrisChapmanGla

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@StNiniansRCDund @TraceyS111 🎄 ❤️

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@IonaMccroary @MelAinscow @ChrisChapmanGla Playing the 'long game' with this approach to school improvement. However, really good discussions at last HT Strategy Group about next stage of implementation.

Working on something exciting to share EDLM to wider audience (coming soon..) & happy to pick up convo after that.

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

Really motivational meeting of our Every Dundee Learner Matters (EDLM) Strategy Group today. Thanks to our ELC, Primary & Secondary Head Teachers for their leadership. Thanks also to Professors @MelAinscow & @ChrisChapmanGla for their guidance & Support

@BraeviewAcademy @FredaFallon_OBT Is there a video of Mrs Elder having a go 🤔 😆

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

@CarolCampbell4 Nightmare. Get well soon, Carol.

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

I always wonder why we don't look closer to 'home' when we are learning about and from other education systems. Interesting, and unsurprising, results from Ireland.

So proud of the work, and growing influence, of our Pedagogy Team..

#PupilVoice

[Harris Academy @harrisacdundee]

It was great to have Chris and Chelsea from @DccTeam working with our @harrisacdundee pupils!

Encouraging pupil agency with a focus on the learning environment and discussing how we can improve this for all learners.

[Paul Fleming @PFlemingHT]

Too kind, Fiona. Lots of mutual sharing of approaches and techniques. I was actually looking at some of my old AA PowerPoints on data only last night.

Hope Headship is going well. Overdue a catch-up!

[Fiona Lawrence @FionaLawrenceHT]

Thank you for asking me, the ‘real school’ examples were really helpful. Thanks also to @LewisPatersonSG and to @PFlemingHT for inspiration around using data effectively.
