Did you catch us being name-dropped in @parliament.scot?

We were delighted to be highlighted by @kateforbes.bsky.social MSP as one of the organisations delivering entrepreneurial education to learners throughout their full educational journey.

#MetaSkills #Enterprise #SkillsDevelopment

We're loving the feedback from teachers who are giving us some great insight into what they think of our new Web App, and our refreshed look.

Our new look puts you in control, with an intuitive layout and everything you need together in one place.

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

Nothing screams #FeelGoodFriday like CLPL!

We're committed to supporting leaders of learning; on our new Web App you'll find videos and guest articles that cover topics like #CognitiveLoad and #DirectInstruction to support your own development.

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

Young people participating in our Gen+ Programme appreciate that #MetaSkills don't need to work alone, and when we combine them it develops us even further 🧠⚡

Sometimes using your #initiative is finding new ways to entertain yourself when your beachball finds it's way into the jaws of an overenthusiastic Spaniel...

With a solid foundation of #metaskills learning (like thru the Gen+ programme 👀), spontaneous situations are far easier to manage.

Absolutely! 🤭

It's World Youth Skills Day #WYSD, and we're celebrating the potential of our young people! Oh wait...👀🤭

At Gen+, every day is #WYSD!

Developing key #metaskills empowers young people to face uncertainty, lead confidently and shape careers in an ever-changing world.

What's on your #PowerJamPlaylist? 🎶

If you've taught our #Innovator programme, you'll be familiar with this lesson - but we wanted to find out what some of our team members would have saved as their Power Jams.

What tracks are we missing? 🤔

The first rule of a #Scottish summer: don't trust the weather forecast!

#Adaptability isn't just for the classroom 🏖️

We've had a glow up, and can't wait to unveil it soon! ✨

Say goodbye to clunky registrations and technology restrictions, and say hello to a brand new look.

Sign up to our Gen+ Unlocked event to find out how you can make the most of your resources 👀

We focus so much on developing learners' #metaskills that it's easy to forget we use them every day as adults!

From dishwasher stacking strategies, to co-ordinating people (and pets!) within your home - we're constantly utilising and honing them.🍽️🫧

How do you use Meta-Skills in your day-to-day? 🤔

We're celebrating the great work we've done this year with @merryleeps.bsky.social, from creating a whole-school #metaskills presentation to filming with us for The Awards Network.

Great job, Meta-Skills Leaders!⭐
