Equity: Mitigating the impact of poverty on Scotland’s children and young people professional learning programme - information session

This event will provide information to potential facilitators about the new national professional learning programme 'Equity: Mitigating the impact of poverty on Scotland's children and young people'. The programme has been developed by Education Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council, along with a range of other key partners, including four pilot local authorities.

Potential facilitators are school leaders, ELC or CLD managers or Local Authority leads. All the resources required to lead the programme will be provided by Education Scotland, including online resources for participants and facilitator slides and notes. The programme uses a flexible, hybrid model, with both individual and group learning elements, where the group learning can be online or in person. It can be delivered at establishment, team, cluster or local authority level.

The learning outcomes of the programme are:

• To know and understand the theory, data and evidence base around poverty both locally and across Scotland

• To know and understand the impact of poverty on learning, achievement and attainment both locally and nationally

• To reflect on and critically examine personal leadership attitudes, values and beliefs within a social justice and equity context

• To know and understand the practice and approaches that can improve outcomes for children and young people impacted by poverty

• To develop and apply knowledge and skills to effectively plan for equity and ensure measurable impact.

This event is for you if you would like to find out more about delivering the programme with your team, cluster or local authority (or wish to share or delegate this task). The programme is suitable for delivery with ELC and CLD participants, as well as those working in schools.
