Learning Rounds : The story grows . . . .

MargaretFebruary 9th, 2011

The interest in Learning Rounds as a tool to bring educators from many different contexts together to talk about learning and teaching continues to grow. In recent months we have seen the beginnings of Learning Rounds being used to support inter-agency collaborative working, and a number of university staff in initial teacher education schools have expressed interest not only in how it might support student teachers, but also in how it might offer a strategy to build “strong and meaningful” partnerships between universities and schools as we begin to consider the implications of “Teaching Scotland’s Future”.

There is also increased interest in the model from school leaders who see it, not only as a significant opportunity for individual professional learning, but also as a powerful way to build collegiality and shared practice within and across school communities.

We have been asked to put up once more the complete and revised Toolkit, and you will find this below. There is also a lot more information about Learning Rounds earlier in this blog – just click on the link in the panel on the left.

If you are using the model, or have found the resources useful, the team (National CPD Team and SCSSA) would really like to hear from you. If you need any further help or information, please also get in touch.

    And thank you for this very positive feedback Fiona. Please let us know how it goes in your authority, and in particular if you can describe any impact from the LRs on pupil learning – that’s the goal we’re after!
