So, so proud of the staff of @woodside_school for stepping up to the challenges that working through a lockdown have presented 👍 Really looking forward to us all being together on Monday with the children 😊 #wonderfulwoodsiders #teamwork #nextchapter
Well @Columba1400, after a great day with you yesterday (and my fellow Columbans) I certainly managed to refill my reservoir today. Lovely walk on a sunny day with my favourite companion 😊

Reflecting this evening on day 1 of my @Columba1400 journey which provided me with a very much needed opportunity to step away from everything, engage in meaningful professional dialogue and reflect #thankyou #cohort73

Check out our latest Professional Guide for teachers ‘A children’s rights-based approach’, in partnership with @EducationScot. The guide comes at a historical time as legislation incorporating the UNCRC makes its way through the Scottish Parliament.

Well that’s another school year @woodside_school complete and what a year it has been. Lots to draw upon in the new session, but for now it’s time to have a break and make the most of what the summer offers. Let’s hope the sun shines!

Research can't tell teachers what to do—classrooms are too complex for that ever to be likely. But research can identify "best bets" for improving practice, and the Great Teaching Toolkit Evidence Review is pretty much the state of the art in this regard: greatteaching.com
Couldn’t be done without the support of my wonderful DHTs. We are working hard to ensure we get it right for our school community, despite the ever shifting sands ... tes.com/news/school-reopenin…

Thought provoking discussion at today’s #ESHeadspace with @JohnSwinney and @GaelGorman . Interesting to hear from folk across the country about their journey to school recovery.

Stuck with phases or words that you didn’t use at school? Have a look at our glossary in order to best support your child! #aberdeenlearns @woodside_school @EduAberdeen
Our Maths glossaries on Parentzone Scotland explain and give examples of some of the most commonly used mathematical words and phrases. These have been recently updated to support learning at home. 🧮 📐🔢 #scotlandlearns
Sorting through a box today I came across a book (pub.1950)which belonged to my mum. Also a teacher in Aberdeen, graduated in 1961. It made for interesting reading ...
Checking my Gmail this evening for the first time since lockdown to discover 31,423 emails! Testament to the engagement our pupils have had with online learning over the weeks 😁#aberdeenlearns #wonderfulwoodsiders
