Hi, my name is Fiona Pascall and this year, I am the link teacher for Bo’ness, Graeme and Grangemouth ELC settings.

I have been a visiting teacher with early learning team for the last 7 years, after working as the nursery class teacher at Carmuirs Primary School for 4 years.

I feel very fortunate to have worked with many staff and settings over my time in the central team and have also been involved in driving forward a range of different initiatives with the primary aim of delivering high quality, child-centred and play-based provision for our learners in Falkirk’s ELC and early primary settings.  I have learned so much from all the different Falkirk team members I have worked with over this time and have also undertaken further study by completing both a PGCE in Early Years Pedagogy and Froebel in Childhood Practice certificate.

I have a love of STEM, particularly mathematics and science, having completed a biological science degree, with honours in pharmacology, before beginning my teaching career at Carmuirs Primary in 2006.  I am very passionate about developing our understanding of delivering interdisciplinary learning in ELC through continuous provision.    Those of you who have worked with me will know I also love systems and am very passionate about creating planning and profiling systems which more effectively support teams to provide the best possible spaces, experiences and interactions for their children.

 

How can I help?

• Supporting ELC teams to meet the aims of their improvement plan or improving elements of their core provision, particularly those working in Bo’ness, Graeme or Grangemouth cluster.
• Signpost to new and updated resources and guidance and facilitate discussions through Bo’ness, Graeme and Grangemouth Leaders and SEYOs Microsoft Teams tiles.
• Support and signpost staff to training and resources, particularly for STEM and numeracy, through Twitter and the Falkirk Council EY sharing group on Facebook.
