A thought provoking Leadership Seminar for our ELC & school leaders tonight: Curriculum Making, led by @MarkRPriestley Really important to challenge thinking as HTs develop & embed our 'Every Dundee Learner Matters' strategy. Thank you, Mark. Mel Ainscow Prof Chris Chapman

Every Dundee Learner Matters (EDLM) is underpinned by principles of equity. EDLM focuses on Three Ps: presence, participation & progress. One tenet is that all settings have at least one school Inquiry group (SIG). Some SIGs, like in Morgan Academy, are focused on Presence

Thank you for sharing the work of one of our impactful School Inquiry Groups, Louise. At our recent Head Teacher Learning Together Day a Depute HT shared Camperdown Primary's SIG's work on improving primary school attendance.

Purposeful meeting with secondary heads today regarding how to strengthen the impact of the Every Dundee Learner Matters strategy. There is great commitment, not least to work with and learn from other members of the group. Johnny Lothian Paul Fleming Prof Chris Chapman

It is imperative that school leaders are the driving force behind improvement strategies.. #Empowerment #EveryDundeeLearnerMatters

I enjoyed visiting Kingspark School today for their attainment review. It was fantastic to hear about the attainment & achievement of our (and Angus') young people & plans for further improvement. Great to hear progress regarding the use of assistive technology. #PupilVoice

Thank you to the Senior Leadership Team at Braeview Academy for meeting with me yesterday for an attainment review. Great to hear abour improvement strategies in relation to curriculum; learning, teaching & assessment; and, Inclusion. Thank you to all staff. #DundeeLearning

Wee surprise when I entered my office today to see that a naughty elf had found his way inside! (Naughty, but fun, office colleagues!) I need to name Elf seemingly. Thoughts? #HoHoHo

Really motivational meeting of our Every Dundee Learner Matters (EDLM) Strategy Group today. Thanks to our ELC, Primary & Secondary Head Teachers for their leadership. Thanks also to Professors Mel Ainscow & Prof Chris Chapman for their guidance & Support #DundeeLearning

So proud of the work, and growing influence, of our Pedagogy Team.. #PupilVoice

Thank you, Mel. We are looking forward to the University's in-depth analysis of our approach at our HT Learning Together Day in January. Prof Chris Chapman #EveryDundeeLearnerMatters

Too kind, Fiona. Lots of mutual sharing of approaches and techniques. I was actually looking at some of my old AA PowerPoints on data only last night. Hope Headship is going well. Overdue a catch-up!

I always wonder why we don't look closer to 'home' when we are learning about and from other education systems. Interesting, and unsurprising, results from Ireland. gov.ie/en/press-relea… #PISA

Great morning in St Paul's Academy for Attainment Review. Enjoyed discussion with HT and Education Officer. Important strengths in 2023 but school more focused on actions & strategies to further improve outcomes for all. Thank you to all staff. ❤️ Mel Ainscow Prof Chris Chapman

Fantastic afternoon meeting the Harris Academy Senior Leadership Team & EO for an Attainment Review. Lots of strengths and really clear & ambitious plans for further improvement. Really impressed with approaches to ensure effective use of data. Reminded me of image! Thanks all.
