A two-day training session for Glow Mentors in West Dunbartonshire in early February covered the essentials of using Glow components. The group began by creating their own curricular Glow Groups and then adding tools which would allow the groups to fulfil their purpose.

But besides working on the ‘how to’, the training also addressed the ‘why?’ of using Glow. Discussions focused on Glow in the classroom, linking its use to Curriculum for Excellence. On the second day of training the Glow team looked at the curricular Glow Groups that the mentors had created the day before, discussing how these would tie in with the Curriculum for Excellence ethos.

The role of the Glow Mentor was also considered: a series of workshops was delivered by the Glow team to help mentors appreciate the importance of their role and to focus on the skills they already possess, which will help them take Glow out into the wider authority.

West Dunbartonshire is now ready to get Glowing.
