World Education Summit – Feedback Reminder

With less than two months left to access the 2023 World Education Summit Resources before the site closes to make way for WES 2024, it’s time to pack in your professional learning. Do you have in-service days coming up or staff meetings? Could you use part the WES 2023 content available to inform your presentation or add to staff discussion?

Whether you are looking at develop your school practices to embed the UNCRC and develop Rights Respecting Schools (Goves & Thom  – Enabling Young People to be the Voice of Tomorrow Today), considering learning & teaching (Hattie – Visible Learning: The Sequel) or focussing on leadership (Harris – Leading Schools in a Time of Change: What matters most and why), then there’s something here for you. Go to the SEIC WES 2023 Padlet for more suggestions and the WES 2023 Summit Central to see the full listing.

As you will know, as part of Education reform in Scotland, Regional Improvement Collaborative funding is to reduce over the coming year. As a result, the SEIC Board has agreed that much of the current SEIC work will be scaled back over the course of this session and within this I can confirm that the SEIC will not provide funding for colleagues to access WES 2024. To help us provide local authorities and schools with information as to the value of the WES 2023 licences, I would ask that you complete the following short survey to inform this process. The survey takes a very short time to complete but your feedback is highly valuable.

Please share this session with your schools, it is for Head Teachers/SMT.

Parents and families can be a great support for a school and can help senior management in so many ways. This session works through the positive and effective ways a Parent Council can help engage with families and the wider community to help support learning. It addresses specifics around the role of the Parent Council and its interaction with school. There will also be time to discuss some of the potential challenges and how to manage relationships.

Developed in partnership with senior management teams and headteachers, this session consistently receives very positive feedback from both delegates and local authorities.

The session is interactive and informal with opportunities for discussion and questions. It’s a great chance to learn more about how you can work effectively with the Parent Council and to hear about good practice in other schools.
