Our first virtual event for College Lecturers aims to stimulate professional thinking, discussion, and national networking.

The event will take place online on Wednesday 20 March at 4 pm and is open to those who are registered with GTC Scotland in Further Education.

We will be joined by Dr Lou Mycroft, a Further Education changemaker and social entrepreneur. She will introduce the Values Line, a way of developing long-term sustainable change in a short-term world. Dr Mycroft will discuss themes such as using the Professional Standards for active enquiry in the college teaching context, using the professional values intentionally in your day-to-day practice and collaboratively connecting and thinking with others in professional learning communities.

Find out more and register. If you have trouble accessing the registration form, please try a different web browser or open the link in a private browsing window.

The main session will be recorded and a link will be sent out to all who registered. It will also be made available on our YouTube channel.
