Do we do the Wrong Things Righter?

Great session on Friday morning which challenged existing ideas and personal philosophy.  Great to reflect on the purpose of education and the implications for engagement with colleagues, students and pupils.  Great dialogue with colleagues from college and Community and Learning Development.  Really insightful to hear other values and principles in the world of education.  At one point we were asked to consider what kind of Scotland we wish to see in 2023.  Some ideas included:
  • No inspections of schools
  • An independent Scotland
  • A nation where everyone has opportunities.
The high jump analogy was great – Google the Fosbury Flop!
