Scots and literacy development

7. Professional recognition

Activity 9

In this activity you will write your reflective blog post for the professional recognition element, which should be informed by your learning during the unit. You should write critically and in some depth about at least one of the following: 

• your understanding of/thinking about the theme of the unit in general, 

• a particular experience/incident arising either in the peer community of the course or in your workplace, 

• a specific piece of reading associated with the theme. 

You must also include in your reflection how the Scots language and culture activity which you tried out in your classroom could have had an impact on and been suitable for addressing pupils' Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in learning. 

Your post should: 

• be 300-500 words in length. 

• address the programme’s three Masters level criteria: 

In writing your post, you may choose to: 

• use one or more prompt from the bank of reflective prompts provided to frame your writing, 

• make connections between readings related to the theme and your practice,  

• explore the extent to which you agree/disagree with or were surprised/impressed by an aspect of the peer discussion in the course forum. 

The GTCS professional recognition task should be posted in your Reflective blog, as opposed to the course forum. Your blog posts will be read and commented on by your tutor. Your successful completion of the GTCS professional recognition element is based on your posts in the Reflective blog.
