Education Scotland endorse ‘Delivering LGBT Inclusive Education’ professional learning programme
Education Scotland has formally endorsed Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the ‘Delivering LGBT Inclusive Education’ professional learning programme.
We are delighted to share that Education Scotland has officially endorsed Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the ‘Delivering LGBT Inclusive Education’ Professional Learning which we deliver on behalf of the Scottish Government. Education Scotland is the national body for supporting quality and improvement of learning and teaching in Scottish education. A programme which has been endorsed by Education Scotland demonstrates that it is informed by the national model of professional learning and links effectively to the relevant professional standards and current policy context.
Endorsement provides those engaging in professional learning the assurance that programmes offer relevant, significant and sustained quality learning. Endorsed programmes have successfully passed through a robust set of criteria, which includes evidence of impact and efficacy.
Having completed the robust endorsement process, TIE has demonstrated that its programme is impactful, quality assured, extremely well evaluated and clearly informed by professional teaching standards.
Programmes of learning for educators that are endorsed by Education Scotland provide a strong articulation of the national model of professional learning. This means they include learning by enquiry and collaboration and provide learning which deepens knowledge and understanding to a degree that is likely to impact both on the educator, and their learners.
The ‘Delivering LGBT Inclusive Education’ Professional Learning is available to all teachers in Scotland free of charge. It focuses on teaching and learning and creating an LGBT inclusive curriculum. It also addresses other common questions teachers may have about this area of work. It covers both the principles and practice for making LGBT Inclusive Education work in schools.
Stage 1 of ‘Delivering LGBT Inclusive Education’ is available on the lgbteducation.scot platform and consists of an E-Learning module which can be completed by teachers individually. The Stage 2 Curriculum Development input is an in-person training that covers the practical elements of LGBT Inclusive Education, particularly teaching and learning. Teachers will work together to begin planning an LGBT inclusive curriculum that is tailored to their school setting.
We have created a brief introduction to LGBT Inclusive Education, in the form of a short PowerPoint presentation, which teachers may find helpful when introducing this professional learning to staff cohorts.
More information on the Professional Learning can be found on the Teachers section of our website.
