SCILT's 1+2 Language Leadership Programme received a 'Professional Recognition Award for Professional Learning Programmes' at GTC Scotland's second annual Excellence in Professional Learning Awards, held on 20 September 2018. The Programme is delivered through a partnership between SCILT and Education Scotland.
GTCS Chief Executive and Registrar, Ken Muir, said: "The GTCS Professional Learning Awards programme is about recognising and celebrating the commitment to high quality professional learning and leadership of learning which international research shows has the potential to transform the lives of children and young people in our schools and education settings."
Representing the partnership behind the 1+2 Languages Leadership Programme, Clare Mouat, Professional Development Officer at SCILT and Louise Glen, Senior Education Officer at Education Scotland attended the ceremony. One of six Professional Recognition Award for Professional Learning Programmes awarded on the night, the team’s trophy was presented by Deputy First Minister, John Swinney.
As a recognition of the reaccreditation of the revised programme, Fhiona Mackay, SCILT Director explained: "It’s thoroughly well-deserved for all the hard work that the SCILT team and our partners at Education Scotland put in to making the programme so successful."
Since the start of the original national languages leadership programme in 2014, over 200 teachers and teacher educators from across Scotland have taken part in the programme.
Details of applications for the next 1+2 Language Leadership Programme will appear in the SCILT e-bulletin in early 2019.
