The first lesson of the new Personal Support class was held today. To evaluate the lesson, we asked the students for their ideas about Personal Support at the start of the lesson and you can see their thoughts in these pictures.

 

After the pupils shared their expectations of the class, we discussed the qualities needed for successful coaching before going on to outline the approach that we will be taking in the learning conversations we have with students.

Hello!

build curric 3This is a blog designed to follow two teachers as they deliver a Personal Support program at Peebles High School for the first time.

Our starting point is Building the Curriculum 3 which states that,

“All children and young people should have frequent and regular opportunities to discuss their learning with an adult who knows them well and can act as a mentor helping them set appropriate goals for the next stages in their learning”.

Personal Support is a time during which pupils can evaluate their own learning; identify goals to develop their learning and find ways to achieve these goals. This blog will follow our progress, share good practice and identify ways to improve the support we offer the students. Hopefully!
