Catriona Gill from Education Scotland will be leading two sessions for Scottish Borders Council on Play Pedagogy this term.
Friday 20th September, Inspire Building 9:00am until 12:30pm – This workshop is the second of two planned engagement sessions for head teachers. The focus of the session will include: observation of play; quality assurance; messages from HMIe inspections.
Friday 4th October, Inspire Building 9:00am until 12:30pm – This session is designed specifically for those who are leading play pedagogy across primary schools. Please contact Claire Crawford, Early Years Improvement and Support Officer to confirm who will be attending from your school.
A number of Play Pedagogy training sessions are planned to follow on from the above sessions aimed specifically at Primary 1 class teachers. These training sessions are designed to support pedagogy and practice and those signing up can opt to do specific individual sessions or all five. These can be booked through Business World.
The termly Play Pedagogy Community of Practice for Primary 1 teachers will also continue this session facilitating professional discussion, the sharing of practice and the building of support networks. More information will be sent out shortly.
I am a PE teacher teaching P1-P7 across 5 schools. I would like welcome some input on play pedagogy to support my new P1s and feel confident I am giving them the best experience possible in my PE lessons.
Can I please attend some sessions or receive advice on how best to run my play-based PE lessons?
I know my colleagues are also interested in this area as it has been discussed regularly at meetings over the years. Perhaps we could receive some sessions in the forth coming inset days.
Hi Lorna, Many thanks for your enquiry. We will look into this and get back to you as soon as possible.
