Not my first SQA verification but definitely a nerve wracking one for N5 ESOL this morning! Happy to have come away with positive feedback about our practice and the students 🥰
Now onto the exam next week! 🤸‍♀️

Great input yesterday from @brucenextlevel.bsky.social during our inset day!

Lots of food for thought and strategies to ensure learners are engaged and actively learning.

My take away - “Skills are knowledge in action.”

What a great #WorldBookDay 📖📚

Who said Secondary teachers cant dress up and celebrate books?!

The students loved it and the book activities in my BGE classes today. They loved it so much, we’re celebrating books tomorrow too 🤓
