An achievement to be proud of. Well done everyone!
Celebrating the success of young people from @BishopbriggsAC who took on our Dare to Venture week at Badaguish Outdoor Centre and climbed Cairn Gorm.
The weather tested them. Low cloud, cold wind and wet rock underfoot. They looked after each other, kept going and stood at the top together.
They also achieved their @sqanews SCQF Level 5 award in First Aid for Mental Health, leaving the week with skills to support themselves and each other.
That's what happens when young people are given the right challenge with the right people beside them. They find out they're more capable than they thought.
Thank you to Bishopbriggs Academy for trusting us with your young people, to Badaguish for hosting us, and to every one of them for showing up.

Teachers who know more about pedagogy tend to be less stressed and make better use of class time.

Thank you to @MrGilmour for this special #BookWeekScotland edition of #FiveFactFriday! Happy Friday and Happy Reading!📚❤️😊#BookWeekScot

ALT @BishopbriggsAC #FiveFactFriday #BookWeekScotland J.K. Rowling was rejected by around twelve publishers before Bloomsbury accepted Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. International research shows that pupils who read for pleasure - even for just 15 minutes a day - tend to achieve better results in their exams. The most expensive book ever sold at auction is Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Leicester, which sold for $30.8 million in 1994. ISBN is an acronym for International Standard Book Number and is a unique identifier for books, currently issued in a 13-digit format. In 1929, author J.M. Barrie gifted the copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), ensuring they receive all subsequent UK royalties.

Experts say teachers should be teaching each other more.
In a world of shrinking budgets, examples of effective use of time and resources like this need a closer look. 👇
Thanks @BoclairAcademy @EDCouncil @1MaryKerr for the open doors.
