Are you a probationary teacher in Scotland looking to better understand and support care experienced learners in your classroom?
Join us to celebrate care experience week with a practical session designed specifically for early career teachers. This event will explore the unique challenges faced by children and young people who have experience of care – including those in foster care, residential care, kinship care, or who are adopted. Learn how educators can create safe, nurturing, and inclusive learning environments that meet their needs.
What to expect:
- An overview of what it means to be care experienced in the Scottish context
- Discussion of barriers to learning and wellbeing faced by care experienced young people
- Practical strategies and approaches for supporting engagement, relationships, and attainment
- Signposting to useful resources and supports available to teachers and learners
- Opportunities to ask questions and share experiences with fellow probationers
This session will be grounded in current Scottish policy and practice, and will support you to meet the expectations of the GTCS Standards for Full Registration in relation to inclusion, equity, and child-centred practice.
Whether you're in a primary or secondary setting, this event aims to empower you with the understanding and confidence to make a positive impact in the lives of care experienced learners.
Who should attend:Probationary teachers and early career educators working in Scottish schools.
