All the maths teachers in East Lothian got together on Friday to hear about E-Starters. I was really impressed. It's been on my computer since the beginning of term, but I hadn't really taken the time to explore what it could do.
I'm guessing that many maths teachers across East Lothian may be in a similar situation with their interactive whiteboards. Some colleagues said to me on Friday that they were using the whiteboards for particular activities, but not for their usual writing-on-the-board stuff. It is absolutely not my role to put pressure on staff to use their whiteboards if they don't feel it's appropriate, but I'm hoping that if I can do what Matt Dunbar did on Friday - show folks how they can get the most out of their boards - then using it all the time will be a no-brainer for them.
This Wednesday is my first day on the job. I'm going to visit Ross and Preston Lodge, to get a feel for how people are getting on. I'm really looking forward to these visits. I know a lot of the staff already, and it'll be a chance to catch up with good friends as well as to meet some new faces.

Maths meeting

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get along on Friday but I was at a CPD session with St Gabriel's. It sounds like it was a very productive meeting and it appears that maths teachers have the opportunity to be at the leading in edge in East Lothian in terms of sharing good practice and creating a culture of reflective practice. I know that schools will welcome your support and enthusiam.
