Mindfulness: keeping calm in times of difficulty

 

Mindfulness -keeping calm during difficulty (Pearson )

Feeling a certain amount of concern or worry is natural when we encounter difficult or unsettling times. This video gives an introduction to mindfulness and explains how it can help rewire the brain to work in calmer and more positive ways. It links to the accompanying audio file of the guided introductory practice (Breath and Body) which you can listen to here. See also our Mindfulness PDF (PDF | 166.93 KB), as well as support for exam and revision stress.

Video support for NQs

 

This website was created by Philip Ford, an English Teacher from Glasgow. A few years ago he started making YouTube videos for the kids in his classes, to help them revise and retain the knowledge that they needed to succeed in their SQA exams. When he discovered that his students were also being helped by lots of other teachers across Scotland who were doing the same thing, he thought that it would be a good idea to bring all these useful videos together on one website.

On this site you will find links to short videos that explain key concepts for the most popular National 5 and Higher qualifications. They have all been made by Secondary School teachers to help students to understand their chosen subjects, and ultimately get the best possible grades.

National Developments FEB 2020 (Education Scotland)

The Forth Valley and West Lothian Regional Improvement Collaborative commissioned our colleagues in Education Scotland to produce a ‘National Developments’ PDF which includes key policies on a page.  This will be updated every August and February, in line with INSET days.

Our hope is that this will support our establishments in their improvement planning as well as enrich PRD discussions.  This document can also be found on CPD Manager.
