We are pleased to share the ScotGov Education review of the impact of Regional Improvement Collaboratives. Very clear evidence of reach, added value, and impact in playrooms, classrooms and across schools. We keep collaborating. gov.scot/publications/r… #KeepCollaborating

Interesting piece from Emma Seith on #RICs SG rapid review of RICs “has found much to praise.” Forthcoming OECD Education report will also talk of a “number of strengths “. Areas for improvement also identified but with a reduction in resource, that will be a challenge.

Curious about AI and its use in education? Keep a lookout on our Twitter and website next week as we launch our AI programme across the region.

The West Partnership AI week is here! This week we will be publishing our Scoping Review which gives an overview of what AI is, how it can be used, the risks and challenges, as well as some practical AI tools.

The AI work is great. Worth considering if this is an are you’re interested in (or apprehensive about).

We're offering two professional learning sessions that will explore some of the AI resources, discuss the use of AI in the classroom, and highlight how to use the AI toolkit - due to be launched in early March. Sign up now - forms.office.com/e/9TsGWz9Tbm #KeepCollaborating
