Totally agree. @Aileen_SCQF
Really good catch up today with @KarenVWatt @JamesDunphy @ScotFundCouncil . Agreeing that the SCQF has to be central to a robust, fair and accessible education landscape. Looking forward to committing to actions in support of that

Can authentic learner agency be an effective tool for "equity"? @WL_STEM @mlf_wl @wldigilearn
Below is the popularised visual for the "EQUITY" schools battle for... What if the wee lad would rather be watching a game of tennis down the street which has no fence around it? WOULD THAT BE EQUITY? WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN FOR YOUR TEACHING PRACTICE? @create_bravery

Brilliant idea!@JackieGalbraith
Many of our lecturers asked for covered outdoor learning spaces in the @WestLoCollege courtyard as a way of mitigating the spread of COVID-19. It was good to see the first one today (they come with waterproof ‘curtains’ to protect against the wind and the rain!)

Such a wonderful experience for our young people.
1/2 We’re sad the summer pupil immersion trip to China couldn’t go ahead this year, so we thought we’d have a look back at some memories from previous years while we wait for the 2021 edition! Pupils from local authorities across 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 have experienced the course over the years.
