The promotion of health and wellbeing is no longer just the responsibility of the Head Teacher or a dedicated member of staff.

Increasingly everyone who works in a school is being encouraged to play a part in promoting the social, physical and emotional wellbeing of everyone in the school.

The draft experiences and outcomes for health and wellbeing have been published on the Curriculum for Excellence website.

These documents have been designed to provide information for all staff in all education establishments on the context and scope of the draft outcomes; they also explain what schools and centres should do with the draft outcomes.

At this year’s festival, the Health and Wellbeing team from LTS will deliver the seminar ‘Health and Wellbeing: The draft experiences and outcomes’ on Wednesday 24 September at 13.30.

This session offers delegates the opportunity to share their views of health and wellbeing in schools and their ideas about how best to support all staff, pupils and parents to become more involved.

Register for this seminar by quoting seminar code G2C.

____________

Feedback on the experiences and outcomes is now being collected via questionnaires located on the Curriculum for Excellence website.

Comments: none Tags:  : Categories Programme, Scottish education

All Scottish education establishments and local authorities have now been mailed copies of the Official Conference Guide for this year’s festival. Copies should be in your staff room so you can browse the conference programme, peruse the activities planned for 2008 and start planning your visit.

This year we have decreased our print quantity of the Official Conference Guide from 35K to 15K with the aim of…

a) reducing our carbon footprint
b) encouraging you to use the website to browse the conference programme and register

For the first time we have been able to tell you about ALL the special features and activities planned for 2008 in the Official Conference Guide. The Guide includes timetables for Topic Surgeries, the Education Showcase and the Learning and Teaching Zone at the Scottish Education Village. It also features information on the exhibition, Learning in Practice area and your own SLF 2008 Planner.

If you don’t like to share and would like your own personal copy of the Official Conference Guide, a PDF version is available to download and print at…

www.LTScotland.org.uk/slf/whatson/program/

Or, email [email protected] with your mailing address and we will mail you a copy.

We would love to hear what you think of our Official Conference Guide.

Anything specific you would like to see?

Is reducing our print quantity a move in the right direction?
