The Power of Multimodal Learning (in 5 Charts) When students engage multiple senses to learn—drawing or acting out a concept, for example—they’re more likely to remember and develop a deeper understanding of the material, a large body of research…

Sad to hear the news of the passing of Jack Vettriano today. He made such an impact on the cultural life of Scotland and I am proud to have owned a number of his prints over the years.

Delighted to be supporting the First Minister’s visit to Plockton High School’s National Centre for Traditional Music to showcase the work of Scotland’s #CentresofExcellence. Great discussion on how #Trad Music in Scotland showcases our identity and culture. The young people were just phenomenal.

A devastating, yet poignant and incredibly important story that needs to be heard. We cannot forget. 🕯️

“These films are masterpieces,” Leo, Pr6. Couldn’t have put it better myself. Enjoying celebrating the CYP’s work as part of the Film & Screen curriculum at the DCA. Love too seeing the impact of the professional learning of the Film & Screen Summer School on teachers. Great way to finish the week.

A cold, but crisp and lovely morning in the capital for today’s meeting with ministers and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to discuss arts education.
