The Approaches
Scottish Network for Able Pupils workshop – we were
encouraged to share our experiences. I now feel more confident about this area of
teaching and learning
Alan McLean was excellent.
Really enjoyed massage
The session on dyslexia was really valuable. It was great to get an overview and to learn of sources of further information
Grief and loss session was particularly helpful as it was fully related to classroom practice and offered real examples of how to
deal with school issues
Samba drumming – fantastic experience
taking drums outside and playing in front of the
building
Work-life balance lecture was really helpful – we really needed to have those issues pointed out
to us!
Student Feedback Keynotes and workshops very well received

The Approaches
The HTs talks were excellent … good to
hear from a HT point of view
It was great to hear headteachers speaking. It was great to hear both primary and secondary points of view and
how important they feel H&W is to the curriculum
The Heads discussion … gave a good insight into a variety of topics
from individuals working with the curricula in every day situations
The talks from the headteachers were very motivating and
helpful
The headteacher’s talk was particularly good and a highlight of the
day
Student Feedback Keynotes and workshops very well received

The Approaches
It was an excellent way to de-stress and finish
the year
Very useful day. These were very important issues. Small groups
allowed for interaction.
Knowing the programme a few weeks prior to the day and
being able to book the courses on MOODLE was very good
All of the sessions were very informative and I feel I can use
the information and experiences gained from the conference in
my future teaching career
A good way to end the course with info to meet future challenges and a
feelgood factor to top it off
Student Feedback Keynotes and workshops very well received

The Approaches
More like this earlier and throughout the course
please
I would have liked to have done all of the
morning workshops as they were all so relevant
Excellent way to end the course – wish we could have had experienced more of this during the
year.
It would have been of benefit to have a teacher who had just completed their probation year for a
Q&A session regarding the life/work balance during that year and to answer
questions on what to expect
This sort of day should be held at
different points over the year.
Plans for Development Re-audit colleagues Ensure a strong location in revised BEd Ensuring equal importance given to each of the 6
specific organisers CPD roadshow
