Are you a Technologies, an Additional Support Needs or an Expressive Arts practitioner? If you use Glow, we are pleased to remind you that we will be running three Building Glow Communities events at Stirling Management Centre in May.

As before, practitioners will work in small groups to create Glow Groups in which they and their pupils can collaborate over the coming months. The groups created will be made visible to all teachers and pupils nationally to act as examples of good practice. This will be a unique opportunity to work alongside colleagues from across the country to share ideas, experiences and resources.

Applicants must have a Glow account and should have some experience of creating Glow Groups.

To apply for the event, please visit the Building Glow Communities Glow Group and click on the link ‘Building Glow Communities application form’ which sits directly under the table of dates.  You can also access the application form by clicking ‘new item’ under the link. The dates of each event are shown below:

Technologies 4-5 May
Additional Support Needs 17-18 May
Expressive Arts 25-26 May

Dyslexia Support Service in East Lothian gets Glowing

I spent a great morning with Hilery Williams recently looking at setting up a Glow Group across East Lothian for the Dyslexia Support Service there. Hilery has great ideas for building links for staff and encouraging their collaboration. It will be a great way for her to publicise the service further. The service provides:

• Consultation with class/subject and support for learning teachers
• Training for staff
• Advice on identification and assessment
• Advice on appropriate strategies, programmes and resources
• Small group/individual tuition where appropriate
• Advice and support for pupils in transition

The Glow Group will allow teachers to download information, find out about current research and initiatives and take part in discussions with each other across the authority. Current thinking from Hilery is that the Glow Group will be divided up into the following sections:

• DSS Info
• Resources
• Dyslexia Friendly Schools’ Pledge
• Dyslexia at Transition
• Dyslexia Forum

If you’re in East Lothian watch out for this super Glow Group appearing in the next month or so and hopefully we can persuade Hilery to agree to share this at a National Level.
