Great to welcome Cohort 11 of Into Headship to @morayhouse.bsky.social this morning for their induction session and to meet their Head Teacher mentors. An exciting year of leadership learning awaits…

Big thanks to Prof Judy Robertson for leading our session on AI in Education for teachers and school leaders tonight at Moray House. Important reflections on the relevance of human-ness within AI and interesting to discuss links to the current Scottish policy context

Great article!

Some really important points here. Social media can be an incredibly powerful tool for schools to build a sense of community and connection but as @nuthmani.bsky.social says clear boundaries need to be in place

Some interesting and promising thinking here around technical frameworks, types of knowledge and a commitment to continuous review which are so needed for teachers in planning and assessing through the Scottish curriculum.

Thanks for all the follows. So great to connect with so many folks on a much better platform. Mostly post about education, leadership and policy. For today though it’s just a photo of the first frost of the Autumn here in East Lothian. #edusky
