Enquire Conference - Achieving Excellence with Additional Support February 28, 2008
Posted by Bill in : Outdoor Learning , trackback
I attended and presented (using the above model as a framework- click for all the slides) at one of the break-out sessions today at the above conference run by Enquire , The Scottish Advice Service for additional Support for Learning. Impressive presentations throughout the day. The pupils presentations were excellent and I particularly enjoyed the North Ayrshire presentation on the inclusive club run by pupils within a school - very powerful. A lot to learn from all involved including the post event conversations
One of the keynote speakers was Dr Carol Craig, again very powerful. I may just have to get hold of her book; Creating Confidence: a handbook for professionals working with young people.
Thanks again to Gavin for inviting me to talk and Sean and Colin for being so easy to present with on our session “Risky Business” - which was fully booked out.

I’d like to see that too, I didn’t know about it. I found an earlier one of her books, The Scots’ Crisis of Confidence provided some fascinating insights into the perceived problem that led to “Confident Individuals” becoming one of the four capacities. Maybe we could do a swap?
David,
I will try and order the book. Yes lets do a swap. Her talk was very illuminating and certainly her research provides evidence that we should think carefully about how we engage pupils in achieving these outcomes.
