This post collates\u00a0sources of professional learning for Literacy and English and was compiled by Yvonne McBlain, curriculum support officer with central team colleagues from Falkirk Children’s services. We hope these offer valuable support in these challenging times, but please email yvonne.mcblain@falkirk.gov.uk with comments or additional ideas.<\/p>\n

This blog is our main Falkirk source of information about literacy and English in our establishments – you can browse examples of Falkirk practice as well as local and national updates. Our Falkirk Literacy and English Glow group<\/a>\u00a0 (login required) also stores hundreds of documents and ideas which we can’t share on this public platform.<\/p>\n

Our Forth Valley & West Lothian Regional Collaborative Literacy group have also created a blog<\/a> which is full of sources and\u00a0materials to extend professional knowledge and support the adaptations to practice currently required of us. These materials were designed to support all practitioners – whether teaching from home, or working in our hubs.<\/p>\n

Yvonne Manning, principal librarian, Falkirk Children’s Services and her wonderful team have moved our Library Resource Service to its new home at our Bothkennar Hub.
