New GTCS Professional Values Learning Resource

 
GTC Scotland has produced a new professional learning resource to support school leaders, groups of teachers and individuals to explore their Professional Values. LfS is integral to and weaves through the professional values.
 
 The Professional Values Learning Pack can be downloaded from here:
 
The resource explores how Professional Values underpin teacher professionalism and teacher identity. The values pack takes the form of a PowerPoint presentation, featuring video, audio and exercises that can be completed individually or as part of a group.
 
It is split into several sections which can be used separately or collectively to explore professional values. It also includes a coaching wheel to aid self-evaluation.

LfS Leaders in Stirling

Last school session we started the LfS Leaders programme with Education Scotland. Practitioners from schools across the local authority met regularly and shared ideas, examples of practice and to seek advice from local partner organisations who could help.

We are now excited to launch the second round of our LfS Leaders programme. Different establishments are at different stages in the development of LfS and we hope that by taking part in this leaders programme we can all learn from each other, share ideas and collaborate to give our young people the best outcomes possible.

The first part of our programme will involve a twilight session on March 9th followed by a day on March 10th observing good practice and speaking to other practitioners who have developed a whole-school LfS approach within Glasgow.
If a member of your team would like to join our LfS Leaders programme please email our Learning for Sustainability secondment team: mcgraths30s@glow.sch.uk
