After watching the recall session recording I feel clearer about how to be successful in TLP. Enquiry sounds scary, overwhelming and unmanageable under current unpredictable and tiring school circumstances. Participating in these modules, creating a poster and selecting a pre, during, post TLP picture is something I can do.

I feel clearer that my area of enquiry, although definitely pushing me outside my comfort zone in terms of leadership, is something both relevant to the needs of the school, wider Scottish education system and something I feel personally passionate about. Supporting pupils with EAL and refugee families is both a difficult and rewarding job. I can’t solve all the issues they face but if I can support by making differentiation in mainstream classes easier, increase awareness and understanding about second language learners and have a positive impact on the educational experience of pupils who speak EAL – I will feel that I have contributed by moving the needle in the right direction!
