Going Forward with Glow

The session will look at how East Dunbartonshire created and developed a Glow Mentor Community and focus on the training provided, specifically the forward thinking to incorporate the core essence of Curriculum for Excellence to make it an integral part of the training programme.

Where Curriculum for Excellence encourages high aspirations for all and should mean that children find their learning challenging, engaging, and motivating, we would hope to show that the type of training and ongoing support we provided to our staff also had this same effect on them.

By motivating staff in this way and making the links between Glow and Curriculum for Excellence explicit we believe this has made it easier for staff to see how to incorporate the principles of Curriculum for Excellence into their day to day teaching.

Our presentation will show how (by reference to practical examples) Glow learn has improved the delivery of Curriculum for Excellence at the classroom level. We will also be able to show the use of Glow to help co-ordinate and disseminate good practice and enable collaboration at an authority wide level.
