It was great to have Yvonne Manning with us last night for the second ‘Reading Unpacked’! We explored how to foster a love of reading and how our text choices shape reader identity.

Thank you so much for having me along. It was a great session and I’m looking forward to coming back in March to hear about the impact it had on learners in the classroom.

A big thank you to Ashley Page, Falkirk’s Numeracy and Maths Officer for presenting at this week’s core sessions. Ashley’s insights were incredibly valuable and we left feeling inspired and equipped with a wealth of practical strategies to try out!

Excited for Session 2 of 'Cultivating Engagement' CLPL on Monday at the Pedagogy Pod!

This display captures key reflections from our last session.

Next week we're exploring strategies to reduce teacher talk & increase pupil accountability - all key for truly engaging learning!
