Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: And stop... Well that has been some term, and we all thought it was going to be easier! So as you head into holidays remember practitioner enquiry is about researching practice and so can't be done out of hours /1 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Wishing everyone a relaxing break. Happy Holidays!

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: what makes a good question? Once you embrace enquiry as stance and start to see the complexities of the classroom then questions are relatively easy. But what makes a good one for a practitioner enquiry project? /1 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: Too much going on. Sometimes work is sooo busy, your brain is full and you have no capacity for more than getting by. Stuff might slide and not get done the way you'd like. That's been me this week. It happens /1 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Clacks NQTs check this out.⬇️ Some useful hints and tips. Ultimately, ensure you have the key elements of a lesson included and it focuses on pupil learning, not just doing! Clackmannanshire Council People Directorate

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: power of photographs. In early years settings photos are a go to method for recording learning. Practitioners are primed to capture moments of progress and achievement. Can this skill be used in enquiry projects?/1 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

March is another busy month for Clax P&C. Please share and help spread the word. #engagement #Clackmannanshire

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: curiosity. Curiosity is often given as a scientific disposition, as a core impetus for research, and so it is pleasing that it is also a key element of enquiry and therefore a facilitator for teachers as researchers/1 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Thank you to Clacks NQTs for inviting me along to your Active Learning CLPL this evening and for the opportunity to present to your secondary NQTS. Lots of great discussion and collegiate working across the three secondaries 👍🏻

Another great night presenting to Clacks NQTs on Active learning. Every year I come away from the session feeling motivated and reminded of why I love teaching so much. Great to meet new faces in our local authority and discuss lots of useful ideas and tips. 🏫

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: Embedded. Practitioner enquiry is proper research. But what marks it out as different is how it is embedded in practice. This is research with the intent for professional learning and we mustn't forget that. /1 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Thank you Muckhart Primary for our Outdoor Learning session this afternoon. We loved the opportunity to observe and discuss new ideas. 🌲 ⛅️
