Looking for examples of pupil centered tracking, monitoring and feedback of their achievement of BGE E&Os which helps pupils develop an understanding of where they are in their learning and where they are going. #edutwitter

Well done to the S4’s who finished top of the ‘best friends’ list in Snapchat badminton today 🏸💫

[Miss Wilkinson @CWilkinson_PE]

Today my S3 ‘Prep for N5’ class carried out some self evaluations based on fear in Gymnastics🤸🏻‍♀️ Brilliant effort all round👏

Next week, onto handsprings!

Our S2 plane to Spain skills academy class have been learning about Las Fallas. One group were keen to make their own version. We think it’s estupendo! Other groups have created Minecraft versions, blookets, and posters. A creative class! @QueensferryHS #workhardbekind

Our National 5 French and Spanish candidates have really knocked it out the park this week, completing their final SQA Talking performances. They were fantastic! Super proud of them all! #workhardbekind @TeamQHSLearns @QueensferryHS

It’s very early days on our Mandarin journey at QHS but pupils already loving this experience. Exciting times ahead! 🐼🇨🇳🧧🥮 @QueensferryHS

Great to discuss this brilliant post about Learning intentions and Success Criteria with team tonight. Really great conversations about the purpose of sharing these with learners. https://t.co/8ITGMbC2EP

National 5 developing their revision toolkit with retrieval practice. The aim is to make them much less reliant on their notes when revising and using them to check and review their answers instead. 🧠📝

[Queensferry Learns @TeamQHSLearns]

Great to think about when designing staff CLPL 👏🏼

[Jade Pearce @PearceMrs]

It’s been super interesting looking into all of the research on effective professional development and discussing our own PD Design Principles 🤓🤓

If you are an Edinburgh Resident and have a spare minute would you mind helping one of my Advanced Higher Geographers gather some data for her Geographical Study? Thanks in advance

Brilliant partnerships being built to bridge the gap between school and employment!

[Mr J Moore @MrJMoore]

Huge thank you to @EC_SCP for hosting our Travel and Tourism class today to complete the Employability Unit. Our pupils were so engaged and enthusiastic while showing off their skills.
Edinburgh College facilities are amazing, we can't wait to come back next year @QueensferryHS

This looks like a really great way to differentiate our text heavy resources 📚

[Dan Smith @teach_smith]

https://t.co/moRyDhNTYw is an excellent website: copy and paste any text & it will identify the tier two vocabulary. From this, the site can generate a glossary, multiple choice quizzes & more. For example:

Really useful 🧵 on using ChatGPT for retrieval Practice 🧠 and hopefully a way of making teachers lives a little bit easier!

[Brad Busch @BradleyKBusch]

Final thoughts on if students should use ChatGPT for Retrieval Practice. A thread, with lots of video examples...🧵 (1/15)

[Miss Mackie @missmacmods]

Revision pong for Higher Modern Studies yesterday. They created their own multiple choice questions and used this game to quiz one another in preparation for their upcoming assessment #retrievalpractice

[Miss Mackie @missmacmods]

Really interesting webcast today thinking about the use of AI to help plan effective learning and teaching. Lots to think about 💡

[Mrs Dickson @MrsDickson3]

My Early Learning and Childcare class enjoying learning about types of play during their lesson today.

[Mr J Moore @MrJMoore]

Oops i was so busy last week i forgot to show the brilliant 2F1 learning about the environmental impacts of importing food. It is a brilliant way for pupils to work together and think of the cost of not shopping locally @TeamQHSLearns

[Mr J Moore @MrJMoore]

This afternoon, I had a brilliant time with 90+ P7 pupils from @KirklistonPS doing a Citizenship challenge as part of our transition programme.

Can't wait to meet you all again next year when you join us at @QueensferryHS #workhardbekind

[Miss Mackie @missmacmods]

Should we try to ensure we are moving away from tick box marking and providing written feedback as evidence & instead centre our learning teaching and assessment planning around these two crucial questions and find effective ways to allow pupils to be able to answer them?
