Curriculum for Excellence and Glow

Find out how using Glow to help teach National Qualifications will also enable Secondary Practitioners to achieve the aims of Curriculum for Excellence.

This seminar will consider and exemplify:

• How Glow can make collaboration between Secondary teachers much easier – even in the same school.
• The use of discussion boards for peer assessment and peer help
• Glow Meet enabling learners to meet an ‘expert’ on a subject or allowing a teacher to deliver supported study lessons which can be accessed from any location.
• How Glow Chat can be used to assist with problem solving within subjects.
• Creation of Glow Groups which concentrate on particular modules/areas which the pupils must maintain themselves.
• Creation of Glow groups which incorporate more than one sector or establishment.

“Taken as a whole children’s learning activities should combine to form a coherent experience”. Let’s come together and find out how we can provide this for our young people.

I began teaching Maths in Edinburgh in 1992 and after 6 months moved to West Lothian where I spent the majority of my teaching career, with a spell back in Edinburgh as Principal Teacher of Maths.
I joined RM in 2001 as an Educational Consultant, and stayed in this role until 2004 when I returned to teaching Maths in West Lothian. From there, I was seconded to Learning and Teaching Scotland where I worked as a member of the Curriculum for Excellence writing team. In October 2007 I rejoined RM and now work as an Educationalist on the Glow team.
