The Scottish Learning Festival 2009 – celebrating excellence in learningW

Over the last 10 years the Scottish Learning Festival has gained international recognition and is now firmly established as the largest annual national education conference and exhibition in Scotland.

The main theme of this year’s event is Curriculum for Excellence: Making the Change.

Curriculum for Excellence is equipping young people to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The recently launched experiences and outcomes are an essential component of the new curriculum. They signpost progression in learning and set challenging standards that will prepare learners for the complex future environment that they will inhabit.

SLF is the ideal place for everyone involved in education to find out more about Curriculum for Excellence, the experiences and outcomes and how the change towards Curriculum for Excellence is being made across Scotland.

Delegates to the Scottish Learning Festival have the opportunity to:

y hear and learn more about the experiences and outcomes

y speak to key staff from Learning and Teaching Scotland, Scottish Government, SQA and HMIE

y see how Glow can help implement Curriculum for Excellence

y learn from practitioners from across Scotland.

Free to all involved in education, this major event is organised by Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS) and Emap Connect.

Welcome to the 10th anniversary Scottish Learning FestivalThis is an important year for education in Scotland and Curriculum for Excellence – Making the Change reflects the transformation happening in every classroom and learning establishment across Scotland, to deliver an education system with every child and young person at its heart.

Curriculum for Excellence means relevant, inspiring, engaging education to achieve the best outcomes for every child and young person. This also describes, in essence, the spirit of the Scottish Learning Festival.

You will be joined by over 7000 teachers, lecturers and education specialists, from across Scotland, the UK and the rest of the world to learn from experts in the field, share best practice, hear about cutting-edge developments, and exchange innovative and creative ideas. You will come away inspired, energised and ready to put new ideas into practice.

This year’s Scottish Learning Festival is bigger and better than ever and also marks the 250th Anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns and Scotland’s Year of Homecoming. Homecoming Scotland 2009 is reflected in every part of the Festival, showcasing how children and young people are exploring and celebrating Scotland’s culture, heritage and great contributions to the world, and opportunities to leave a real and beneficial legacy for young people and Scotland in years to come.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Raising Levels of Wellbeing and Involvement in Early Years: The Key Role of ObservationProf Ferre Laevers, University of LeuvenWithin the new paradigm on education and the experiential approach, creating a powerful learning environment goes beyond craftsmanship and the application of recipes: it requires mastery. Part of this is the disposition to take the perspective of the learner and to be able to see the ‘whole’ child. In this workshop the role of observation is illustrated as a means to assess the levels of wellbeing and involvement, to understand the needs, to identify the competencies addressed in activities and to take actions leading to deep level learning.

Educational Briefings

Connecting the PiecesJill Eggleton, International Educational Consultant, Global Education Systems (NZ) Literacy programmes require a variety of approaches where pupils are encouraged to explore new ideas and think critically, creatively and reflectively. They need to encourage pupils to actively participate in their own learning. Literacy programmes need to be ones that will ‘light the fire’ for pupils and create a lifelong love of learning. Connecting the pieces will demonstrate two approaches in reading:

y the ‘Shared Reading’ approach using the music and magic of poetry. Poetry is the ‘soul,’ the ‘heart beat’ of a reading programme where the rhythm of words and power of language is caught

y small group ‘Independent Reading’ approach, based on the reciprocal teaching method, where oral language and comprehension strategies are the focus, in a peer learning situation.

This method of teaching has been shown by research to increase both reading and listening comprehension and has demonstrated that pupils transfer this knowledge into other contexts.

Reciprocal teaching also requires pupils to work co-operatively with their peers. Peer learning is one of the most effective and natural forms of learning.

When pupils work together, interacting and motivating each other to interpret, analyse, evaluate and make connections, it can truly be a most powerful learning experience.

How to bookThis session will start at 12.00 (Wednesday) and will be repeated again at 13.00 (Wednesday).

The Role of Interactive Technologies in Teaching and LearningAlison Lydon, The Mary Erskine and Stewart’s Melville Junior SchoolSocial learning is crucial: as teachers we need to ensure that the student learning experience is as collaborative, personalised and enjoyable as possible. With a diverse curriculum, interactive technologies facilitate and enhance communication in the classroom. Children should find their learning challenging, engaging and motivating. This seminar will explore how the latest interactive whiteboard software is bringing a new level of interactivity to the primary setting, enabling multiple inputs on the board and seamless integration of using handheld learner response devices.

ActivExpression + Maths = Inspired LearnersPaul Smith, Inverclyde Academy, Inverclyde CouncilTeaching maths is not an easy task at the best of times; with so many learners holding negative views on the subject, differing abilities, learning styles and levels of motivation – engaging students can be a real challenge.

Interactive technologies are transforming the way that maths is being taught. This presentation aims to show you how simple it is to use an interactive whiteboard, and how handheld learner response devices can dramatically improve student participation in an everyday maths lesson.

How to bookThese are two different sessions; one will start at 13.00 (Thursday) and the other will start at 14.00 (Thursday).

To book, please quote seminar code F1H for the first session at 13.00 and seminar code F1I for the second session at 14.00.

Achieving a Smarter Scotland: Transforming our Education System to Deliver the Best Outcomes for Every Child and Young PersonCabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Fiona Hyslop MSP, Scottish GovernmentThe Scottish Government’s purpose is to create a more successful country with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.

In a rapidly changing world, Scotland’s young people must be equipped with the skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work that will benefit them, now and in the future. As Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Fiona Hyslop MSP is concerned with creating the right conditions to facilitate an education for children and young people which equips them with these skills, so that each and every one can achieve to the best of their abilities and take their place in a modern society and economy.

In this keynote address, the Cabinet Secretary will talk about the Government’s ambitions for a Smarter Scotland and how through Curriculum for Excellence we can all work together to embrace a learning and teaching system to last a lifetime. Curriculum for Excellence allows for relevant, inspiring, engaging education to achieve the best outcomes for every child and young person. This is being realised in schools and learning establishments across the country, transforming Scotland’s education system to one that is designed and delivered with the needs of every child and young person at its heart.

Following the success of last year’s session, there will be ample time set aside at the end of the keynote address to put questions to the Cabinet Secretary.

Wednesday – 10:30 Seminar Code K A

Developing Growth Mindsets: How Praise Can Harm, and How to Use it WellProf Carol Dweck, Stanford UniversityNo parent or teacher thinks, ‘I wonder what I can do today to undermine my children, subvert their effort, turn them off learning, and limit their achievement.’ Of course not. They think, ‘I would do anything, give anything, to make my children successful.’ Based on decades of research, Professor Carol Dweck argues that many of the things teachers and parents do and say have exactly this kind of negative effect.

In fact, every word and action sends a message. It tells children – or students or athletes – how to think about themselves. It can be a fixed mindset message that says: ‘You have permanent traits and I’m judging them.’ Or it can be a growth mindset message that says: ‘You are a developing person and I am interested in your development.’ What can educational professionals in Scotland learn from these important insights?

Wednesday – 14:00 Seminar Code K B

From Potential to Performance: Lessons for Scottish Education from Success in Sport Dr Frank Dick OBEOne of the greatest disappointments for many teachers is the unfulfilled potential of learners. What can educational professionals in Scotland learn from the successful coaches of the sporting world?

Dr Frank Dick argues that great coaches have 20:20 Double Vision. They focus on delivering high performance today, whilst preparing for tomorrow’s different and even tougher arenas. What can teachers learn from this approach in the context of Curriculum for Excellence where teachers have to plan today’s lesson and at the same time maintain a focus on developing the four capacities in every young person for the future?

Thursday – 15:00 Seminar Code K D

A Single Curriculum 0–18: One Approach to QualityProf Ferre Laevers, University of Leuven The differences between the learning environments for care, pre-primary, primary and secondary education are, inevitably, huge. Creating a single curriculum will certainly help to bring coherence at the level of objectives. But is there a possibility to have a shared framework when it comes to assessing and improving the quality of practice in these diverse provisions? The experiential approach allows such a common view on quality to develop. At the centre stand the two process indicators, wellbeing and involvement, which are not only important for young children but remain relevant to education and learning throughout life. Linked to these, six basic ingredients are proposed which together create the best possible conditions for wellbeing and involvement – and through that, for deep-level learning.
