Health & Wellbeing in Integrated Learning Communities

For anyone who wants to find out a bit more about the functionality of GLOW and participate in some friendly discussions about Curriculum for Excellence I can wholeheartedly recomment GLOWing Thursdays!

I was asked by a good colleague Robert Hill to join in and present at today’s GlOWing Thursday about Health and Wellbeing. After a few technical hitches I was pleased to join in from my temporary location of Fort William, in sun-drenched hotel overlooking Ben Nevis.

It worked brilliantly, bar a few croaky voices due to internet connections. If you are interested to see the playback, I think that the LTS channel on You Tube will show them soon. For now, you can access my slides here.

I really focussed on the background to Health and Wellbeing from 2003 and how far we have come, a bit about guidance that Highland produces to support schools in implementing the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act then a good look at how we can develop the Health and Wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes, particularly cross-curricular approaches and inter-disciplinary projects.

There were about 6 people at one time, not a lot but I was delighted to be asked and proud to be using the GLOW service. Thanks to Jennifer McDougall and Katie Barrowman.
