GENPLUS

School's out! ☃️

We've had a brilliant 2025 working with teachers and young people across Scotland, and can't wait to see what 2026 brings!

From the Gen+ team, have very merry Christmas, and a lovely New Year. 

We'll see you in January! ❄️

Christmas films, but make it educational 🫡

We use #MetaSkills all the time, and so does The Grinch! We had great fun spotting skills in these classic Christmas films, but what have we missed?

Share your fave festive flicks that show Meta-Skills with us! 👀🎄

It's almost 2026, and with that comes plenty of good intentions & #NewYearsResolutions.

We had a think about how some of our own resolutions might include #MetaSkills - and here's what Helenor, Lydia and Becca came up with!

What's your New Year's Resolution, and what skills will you be using? 🤔

A key focus for #GenPlus is accessibility & our Web App provides just that!✨

With easy navigation and use, it's easy to deliver and create your own bespoke courses - designed to suit your learners

Keen to find out how you can use the Gen+ programme to aid your whole-school planning? Get in touch!

Whilst we don't really have an 'Everything Gen+' book, you'll find everything you need to deliver the Gen+ programme right within our app.

We've been hearing from our #GenPlusGang to find out what teachers think of our new Web App.

Our pupil booklets are a hit, by downloading them at the beginning of the course, you can keep all resources handy. The flexibility of our course means that if you'd rather use these digitally, you can!

#MetaSkills are vital to ensuring that #AllLearningCounts!

By building these in young people, we're creating a future where they can be successful and resilient individuals 🤩

👹Anxiety Gremlins: we all have them, but how do we deal with them?

#GenPlusTrailblazers learn about pesky gremlins, and the different types of gremlins that cause unhelpful thoughts and contribute to feelings of stress or anxiety.

Schools are back & so are we!

Our Director of Education Becca visited Maisondieu Primary School, @anguscouncil.bsky.social to deliver #GenPlus lessons & had a great day learning more about the school and how they embed #MetaSkills learning into everyday.

Great work!⭐ @educationscotland.bsky.social

The word "POMODORO" in bold, white letters on a yellow to orange gradient background, with several red tomatoes.

How can tomatoes make you more organised? 🤔🍅

The Pomodoro Method is a tool our Trailblazers pick up in our Organisation unit.

But what is it?

1️⃣Focus on a task for 25 minutes
2️⃣Take a 5 minute break
3️⃣Repeat

It helps you to stay focused, yet allows you to recharge - just avoid doomscrolling!

A tool that Gen+ students learn & can be applied at any age. The Three Rs; great for #BackToSchool or a summer declutter.

What are the Three Rs?
1️⃣Required: things you need
2️⃣Recharge: things or activities that help you do your best
3️⃣Redundant: things or activities that don't help & you don't need
