Round Tables and Exhibitions

We wanted a broad range of discussion, questioning and sharing of ideas, resources and tips. So we have planned:    Round tables - This is the chance to facilitate, lead or spark discussion on issues surrounding education in Scotland today, and how this relates to the future. It could be to do with learning and teaching, the wider context of children and young people and/or the future of Scottish education. The topic is up to you!   Exhibitions - Various education partners and different organisations within and outwith the university will have exhibitions, showcasing their support materials and free resources to support learning and teaching.

'Education for Scotland's Future' - Question Time

There will also be a panel discussion with representatives from nursery, primary, secondary and teacher education as well as actual school pupils - discussing and answering questions from the audience to do with the future of education in Scotland.

 

Confirmed Panel Members:

 

Graham Donaldson Graham is the current President of the Standing International Conference of Inspectorates (SICI), which has 29 member inspectorates from across Europe. He has also undertaken country reviews of education on behalf of the OECD.   Following his retirement from HMIE, Graham was asked by the Scottish Government to undertake a national review of teacher education in Scotland. The review was successfully published in January 2011 - 'Teaching Scotland's Future'.	Amanda Corrigan   Amanda is the course director of the B.Ed. Primary Education (Hons) degree programme at the University of Strathclyde.   In addition to her role at the University, Amanda has been involved in presenting a number of in-service training sessions on the Teaching of Mathematics in the Primary School with her colleague Shelagh Whyte. These sessions focus on interactive approaches to teaching and learning maths.
Ollie Bray   Ollie is the National Advisor for Emerging Technologies in Learning at LTScotland.   His current interests include social media in schools, computer games in education, mobile technologies, school design, outdoor learning and 21st century school leadership. He blogs at: www.olliebray.com and tweets at:www.twitter.com/olliebray.	Linda Brownlow   Linda is a Senior Lecturer in Education at the School of Education, University of Strathclyde. Linda is also the Course Leader of the PGDE programme and Director of the Centre for Studies in Enterprise, Career Development and Work (Enterprising Careers).
David Noble   David Noble is Chair of the Association of Chartered Teachers Scotland. He is a classroom teacher of general subjects at HillsideSchool in Fife, a school for teenage boys who are ‘looked after and accommodated’, and is a 4th year EdD student at the University of Edinburgh. David recently published a paper, 'Technologies for career-long CPD', for the Scottish Government's Technologies for Learning Strategy. David is an educational podcaster, collaborating on the innovative Edutalk project, and is a Director of Scot-Ed Consultancy and the eLearning Alliance.	Dr Gill Robinson   Dr Gill Robinson is Chief Inspector of Education at Education Scotland.   Gill Robinson is responsible for inspection and capacity-building programmes in local authorities and CLD.   In the set up of Education Scotland, Gill is responsible for local authority scrutiny strategy.
Susan Liveston   Susan is a student in her last year of the B.Ed Primary Education (Hons) course at the University of Strathclyde.   She is also the Lead Vice President and Treasurer of the 'Continuing Professional Development in Education Society'	Susan Quinn Susan is Vice President of the Educational Institute of Scotland. Prior to becoming Vice President she was Vice Convenor of the Education Committee of the EIS.   She is Head Teacher of St Cuthbert’s Primary in Possilpark, Glasgow and has been a teacher for 23 years.

 

So post your questions for our panel:

1. In the current economic climate, is it still worthwhile pursuing the class sizes agenda (reducing class sizes)?
2. In the Donaldson report, the removal of the B.Ed. programme is recommended. What new undergraduate teacher education programme do the panel would best meet the needs of new entrants to the profession, and how does this relate to the possible accelerated entry programmes (e.g. Teach First) and the one year entry route?
3. Over the past five years, and the past decade, we have seen massive technological advancement, which has had, and will continue to have, great implications for learning and teaching 3-18. How well do the panel believe teacher education institutions, schools and local authorities to be doing in their repsonse to these developments and in meeting the needs of today's learners in a technologically advanced society?
4. With local authorities and schools being left to devise their own methods of assessment regarding experience and outcomes,  how can Scotland as a whole ensure quality across the country?
5. There is a risk that teachers have a "tick the box, that's been covered " or "what experience and outcome does that fit in with" attitude, how can you ensure as each class progresses through the experience and outcomes that pupils are progressing with a depth to their learning and not being measured on progress of content?
6. How do the panel feel the best way could be to reconcile the contradictory recommendations that teaching become a Masters level profession yet the Chartered Teacher programme be abolished for being 'too academic'?
7. Looking at the recommendations made in the Donaldson Review, would it be more beneficial for students to go out on placement 2 days a week instead of larger block placements?
8. Health and Wellbeing is an area of the curriculum which now is the responsibilty of all; should there be mandatory health and wellbeing courses across all initial teacher education training?
9. With the recent introduction of Curriculum for Excellence in schools across Scotland, how do you feel teachers are receiving it? And are they making the change necessary to make it a success?
10. Many teachers say they need a greater level of CPD, supportive measures and resources in order to make CfE a succes. But, given the current economic climate, can the government and local authorities feasibly provide this?
11. Hypothetically, had we have been in a time of prosperity rather than a recession, do you feel Curriculum for Excellence would have been implemented or received in a different way?
12. It could be suggested that the push for Scottish Studies in our curriculum is influenced by the SNP's push for independence. If so, would you agree? And is this the best way to be going about forming education policy?
13. How do we ensure that all learners are engaged with their reading and writing across the full breadth of the curriculum?

Tags

 

Follow along on Twitter, so let's keep it all together and use the following tag for all posts, images, tweets and presentations to do with TeachMeet Strathclyde: #tmstrathclyde

 

TeachEat

 

Typically, after a TeachMeet a number of participants go out for dinner. Everyone is welcome, and for many it is as important a part of the evening as the Teachmeet.

 

It is expected that each person will pay for their own meal and drinks as it is unlikely that sponsorship will cover this cost.

 

If you you have any suggestions for a venue, please add below

 

• Wetherspoons Anniesland (cheap pub food)
• The Sisters Jordanhill (sit down restaurant- bit more expensive!)
• Somewhere in the west end? I.e. Byres Road/Partick?
• The Three Craws (an Ember Inn like a Harvester close to JH station)
• Spuntini, Byres Road

 

 

Who's eating?

 

Please add you name, and any preference you might have, to the list below if you intend to TeachEat:

 

	Name	Preference
1.	Morven	Wetherspoons (I can give people a lift there!)
2.	Susan	No preference but can give lifts
3.	Paul	3 Craws was good last time! Easy to get to & from
4.	Paul (2)	I reckon 3 craws too!!
5.	Omar	No pref.
6.	Rebekah
7.
