Description
In this practice spotlight session, we present a Masters level professional learning and leadership development programme for primary and secondary teachers of languages. We will explain how the challenges and opportunities posed by an ambitious policy context at both system and subject specific levels have shaped the design and outcomes of the programme. Developed by Scotland's National Centre for Languages (SCILT) in partnership with the Languages Team at Education Scotland, the national curriculum agency, Scotland's Languages Leadership Programme (SLLP) is an innovative year-long programme designed to build the leadership capacity of primary and secondary teachers in languages education and local authority officers with curricular responsibilities. In this programme participants join an online professional learning community where they develop a personalised pathway of learning through organised sessions, reflective journaling, the support of critical friends, and networking opportunities. This model of long-range, subject-specific professional learning is unique within the Scottish education system. Over 10 years, the programme has welcomes around 400 teachers from across all 32 council areas of Scotland from Orkney to Dumfries & Galloway and everywhere in between, working in settings that are urban and rural, island and mainland, diverse and homogeneous. Repeatedly recognised as high quality professional learning by the General Teaching Council Scotland, more importantly still the feelings of programme alumni expressed in the session title indicate that the SLLP experience is one that empowers participants. Join the session with colleagues form SCILT to find out more about how this can be achieved.| Period | 15 Nov 2024 |
