‘What Scotland Learned’- 100 stories of lockdown learning
Education Scotland is delighted to announce the release of a collection of lockdown stories from across the education system called ‘What Scotland Learned’.
‘What Scotland Learned’ showcases some fantastic examples of how work was carried out across Scotland after the sudden closure of school buildings and other learning sites. It features 100 tales of the work undertaken to support learners and communities through innovation, creativity and resilience. This free publication is a collection of some of the best examples of the brilliant work we know has taken place across Scotland since the first lockdown in March last year. The stories from the book, as well as additional stories, are also published online.
Education Scotland have also published a professional learning paper which takes the inspiring stories from the book and synthesises them with education research. Designed to support education leaders and practitioners, it takes six themes that came through the stories and explores the existing evidence-based findings to add depth and understanding to lived experience.
