Power Up Your Pedagogy Conference
The inaugral Power Up Your Pedagogy Conference is taking place at the Hilton Doubletree, Edinburgh Airport, Saturday 30th November, for teachers and school leaders (primary and secondary).
The day will be led by Bruce Robertson, the author of ‘The Teaching Delusion’ trilogy and ‘Power Up Your Pedagogy: The Illustrated Handbook of Teaching’, published by John Catt Educational. Of Power Up Your Pedagogy, Professor Rob Coe of Evidence Based Education says: ‘To all teachers I would say: study this book, learn from it and act on it’.
Themes covered across the day will include:
- The science of learning
- Questioning
- Feedback
- Differentiation
- Formative assessment
- Student-led learning
- Inclusive pedagogy
- …and more!
Bruce has been working in education for over 20 years, having trained as a chemistry teacher at The University of Edinburgh in 2002. As headteacher, Bruce’s leadership of Berwickshire High School has been instrumental in turning around a school rated ‘weak’ and ‘unsatisfactory’ in an HMIE inspection, to one that is now widely recognised as sector-leading in its approaches to teaching & learning improvement, ethos, and staff professional development. As a consultant and trainer, Bruce is widely praised for his passion, clarity and the practicality of his messages.
