CANCELLED: Supporting Collaboration for Planning Learning, Teaching and Assessment Online Sessions

Monday 18th January – Early Level

Thursday 21st January – First Level

Monday 25th January – Second Level

Thursday 28th January – Secondary (BGE)

Given the change in circumstances and move to remote learning, we have consulted with practitioners who were due to co-present at the above sessions and have decided to cancel the event.

Although the sessions are cancelled, we will be publishing the Education Scotland presentation on the Moderation Hub during the week beginning Monday 18th January. We will also be working with practitioners to record their presentations and intend to share these on the Moderation Hub before the end of February.

We hope that sharing the presentations online will support practitioners when planning learning, teaching and assessment in the BGE. We also plan to provide opportunities for practitioners to collaborate and discuss approaches to learning, teaching and assessment both during the period of remote learning and upon return to school.

Practitioners have been informed of this change and participants will also be notified this morning.

Regards,

NIF Team

The NIF Team is hosting sessions for practitioners to hear a short input from Education Scotland relating to the Planning Learning, Teaching, Assessment and Moderation Cycle; Assessment in the BGE 2020/21 guidance and Assessment within the BGE: a thematic inspection. *
These sessions will also include practitioners from across Scotland sharing current approaches to planning learning, teaching and assessment in their establishments.
These include a focus on:
Early level – numeracy and STEM  and play-based literacy skills

First Level – learner voice and a school’s journey following inspection

Second level – planning across the four contexts and novel studies to develop higher order reading skills

Third level/Fourth Level – rubrics for providing feedback to learners

The second part of the session will provide opportunities for reflection and allow participants to share practice in smaller breakout discussions.
