Personal views of a teuchter science teacher. Interests include biking and kayaking. Who am I kidding, it’s wine in front of the fire now!

Miss Duffus' @sqanews Science Baccalaureate class did a wonderful job of presenting their research in the form of a scientific poster at the S4 parents night last night.

Spending a lovely day at the @STeachersEP conference in Stirling and looking forward to their workshops. Come and speak to me at @SSTAtradeunion stall, if you are here too #STEP2024 #forteachersbyteachers

[Cathy @CathyRo55]

@Bruce_NextLevel Thanks for your input to support deeper collegiate reflection on pedagogy without being patronising in the slightest. Workshops from colleagues were all helpful too. Really enjoyed the whole day.

[NASUWT Scotland @NASUWT_Scotland]

National Official @mike_corbett_1 @SP_ECYP highlighting the need for greater resourcing and, given the increasing number of pupils with additional needs, the importance of changing the narrative and not viewing ASN as a minority interest.

@drewburrett I can imagine getting pupils to mark these answers would be great practice for them to develop insight into what SQA are looking for to get full marks. Generating model answers was always such a pain.

[Cathy @CathyRo55]

Thanks Drew. Consider it passed on...

[@drewburrett.bsky.social @drewburrett]

It seems that @sqanews are currently undertaking research amongst teaching staff and management in secondary schools across Scotland and would be grateful if you could complete an online survey.
Open until Friday 31 March.
