It was great to be able to share the work happening at Inspiring Foundations at the BECERA conference this year. Always so supportive and such a positive conference. Thanks for sharing @BECERAssoc and we’re excited for the next one 🤩 @BeckyCozensECS @UoSPGCEEYT @PGCEIDL

[Vikki Wynn @VikkiWynn1]

👀 Can’t wait for this conference. It is such a privilege to be able to work with one of our partnership schools and I am so proud of them for not only wanting to be involved but in being brave and joining us in presenting too - @ey_TACTYC is the perfect place to do this 😊

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

Great to see our team sharing the research that is happening with a local partnership school. Amazing what can happen when people collaborate #eyfs #earlyyearsprofessionals #research #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork @VikkiWynn1 @BeckyCozensECS @PGCEIDL @UoSiQTS @ey_TACTYC

Last visit of the week (and the Hong Kong trip) for Vikki at Anchors Academy. What an amazing school with fantastic facilities and a great lesson from Kainat #distancenotdistant @PGCEIDL @UoSiQTS @VikkiWynn1

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

Vikki was in Dalton School yesterday for most of the day, observing Denise, Jonathan and Rachel and meeting their fantastic mentors. Such a supportive school with many of our UoS PGCE alumni there too 🤩 #distancenotdistant @PGCEIDL @UoSiQTS @VikkiWynn1

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

On Wednesday evening the team attended a teacher conference with speakers that included our very own PPT Robynne Esther and UoS PGCE alumnus Sukhmani, sharing their experiences with AI and VR. Amazing to be part of such a fabulous community #distancenotdistant

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

It’s been such a busy week! Some of the visits on Tuesday included Alexa at ESF Abacus KG and Lois at St. Catherine’s IKG. Not only was Vikki able to observe their lessons, she also had the chance to catch up with their mentors and many of our previous trainees too 🤩 #community

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

Great networking event last night at our UoS Hong Kong campus. Trainees from a range of our programmes plus some new educators who are excited to join us in September. So nice to be able to meet in person #distancenotdistant @sunderlanduni @PGCEIDL @UoSiQTS

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

A busy day yesterday where every school believed we had brought the rain with us from the UK. From local schools in Sha Tin and beyond in the morning to the amazing Discovery Bay on Lantau Island on the afternoon. Some wonderful teaching, even with the rain☔️ #distancenotdistant

[@UoSPGCEEYT @UoSPGCEEYT]

A great week of visits, networking, CPD and reflective conversations 🥰 #initialteachertraining @PGCEIDL @UoSiQTS
