\"WP_20150329_002\"<\/a>Teachers and senior managers from Kinnaird and Moray Primary Schools shared their use of the storyline approach at the 6th International Storyline Conference on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th March 2015. Gemma Douglas and Brenda Bennie presented their global storyline practice with teachers from Glasgow schools and the West of Scotland Development Education Centre (WOSDEC). Ashley Thomson, teacher at Limerigg PS\u00a0prepared the Falkirk contribution with Gemma, but was unable to attend due to illness and Brenda thankfully stepped in.\u00a0Everyone involved shared the powerful impact of the\u00a0Global Storyline training on the 14 teachers involved and their pupils. Feedback from the workshop delivered on Saturday was very positive,\u00a0and the delegates attending engaged fully with the practical elements built in to help them understand how powerful this interdisciplinary learning is.

Lynda MacDonald, DHT, Gillian Brodie, PT, and class teachers Alison Feasby and Simran Multani also shared their development of storyline within Moray PS. In their\u00a0 session entitled “One School Telling Many Stories”, this team described the storyline journey taken by their whole school community over the last 2 sessions. During this time a small group of teachers have worked with and championed the storyline approach. Session 2013-14 saw every class embarking on a Storyline at the same time; their classrooms and playrooms were filled with vivid representations of characters, settings, plots and an abundance of new learning. In April 2014, all stages from nursery to Primary 7 celebrated and shared\u00a0“Telling Many Stories” with parents, grandparents and other special guests. The school journey continues this session 2014-15 with an aim to improve practice and achieve greater consistency across the whole school and a drive to build in progression of skills across learning. The pictures above and below come from the nursery storyline floorbook.\u00a0 \"WP_20150328_004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the conference, Lynda and colleagues made connections with 2 schools in the USA whom\u00a0they plan to share practice with\u00a0next year – there will be opportunities to link classes and storylines across the Atlantic which is very exciting for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

Falkirk teachers are recognised for their use of the storyline approach to deliver powerful and engaging interdisciplinary learning. It was wonderful to see this practice being shared with an international audience – maybe we will have even more to share at the next International Storyline Conference in Istanbul in 2018!<\/p>\n
