He was ordained by the Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway, the Right Revd. Dr Gregor Duncan. And on Sunday, Fr Chucks celebrated his first Holy Communion and Evensong as a [...]

One of these was the time taken [...]
Inter professional dialogue as CPD
Posted by: mimanifesto on: February 14, 2011
It sometimes strikes me, as I speak and network with other education professionals that we are rather insular in our approaches. Of course, many folk I’ve worked with went from school, to university, and straight into teaching as their chosen career, and have been teachers and educationalists ever since. However, certainly over the past few [...]

It’s been a really intense school year, what with the onward march of GLOW, a couple of research projects, ACfE, and the ‘BrainBoosters’ primary/secondary games-based learning project.
