Join us tomorrow 4-5pm to develop a Midlothian Early Years STEM Network building on local, regional and national activity. This participative session will explore STEM in Midlothian Early Years with Education Scotland STEM Education Officers.
Contact Kristina.Robb@midlothian.gov.uk for more details and to register.
The first session on 17 November examines the big picture of STEM Industry in the North; the context within the region, the economy and changes in the last few years and an overview of the current & projected Labour Market Information (LMI) and what this means for your learners.
The Improving Gender Balance and Equalities team are excited to announce the launch of their IGB Self-Evaluation Framework. This framework is designed to support schools and settings to take a long term, whole setting approach to addressing gender imbalance and creating a more equal learning environment. The framework consists of five main sections, which encourage both changes to classroom practice, alongside changes to school ethos and policy. The framework is designed to provide a foundation for schools to explore issues relating to gender balance and equalities in a way that suits the specific needs of each setting, whilst also providing a springboard for schools to explore wider inequalities and barriers. The team will also be providing professional learning for senior leaders looking to use the framework in their setting, and any practitioners leading on specific aspects of the framework.
