RESPONSE TO COVID 19
SCHOOL SUBMISSIONS
Our thanks to those schools who have submitted their applications for 2020. In response to teacher requests, we have extended our deadline and are continuing to do our very best to accommodate schools at this very difficult and stressful time. The dates for submitting in 2021 will be posted on the Vision Schools Scotland website in August.
CPD
Vision Schools Scotland is seeking to identify the online platform that is shared by most or all of its participating schools. This will provide an alternative to the scheduled face-to-face CPD events and enable us to continue to support teachers in their professional learning. As Vision Schools are from a wide range of councils with different practices and policies, this is particularly challenging.
Vision Schools Scotland additionally deliver face-to-face and online presentations on the value of Holocaust Education and the value of Vision Schools Scotland, to local authorities. We have presented to teachers in North Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire and aim to present these to every local authority in Scotland.
ANNUAL AWARD EVENT
If social distancing remains in place at the time of the award in November 2020, this event will be rescheduled, held online, or held as planned with a smaller, permitted number of participants at the Scottish Parliament. Schools will be notified of any such change.
