Jan 19th, 2006 by Don Ledingham
I had hoped to get along to the Prestonpans cluster meeting this morning but we have to submit proposed efficiency savings and their consequences by Monday lunchtime. Spent all morning working with Derek Haywood with assistance from Anthony Gillespie and Alan Borthwick.
1.00-2.00 Met with Alan Ross and Sheila McKendrick to shape our presentations about inclusion at next week's HT conference
2.00-3.00 LNCT preparation meeting
3.30-4.15 Out to Prestonpans Infant school to apologise to Jean Gardiner for missing this mornings meeting. Managed to have a chat with a few staff - it reminded me how important it is that I keep in close contact with teachers.
4.15 Popped in to David Allan for ten minutes - David was the former HT at Preston Lodge High School.
4.30- 5.00 Prsntation to Detemined to Succeed primary reps about exc-el and the new part of the website which they will be able to access.
5.10-6.00 Round to see Willie Galbraith at PLHS. Wise words of counsel. It was good to hear that Willie sees staff in East Lothian to be deeply committed to the concept of inclusion.
