Parents/Carers From: Pauline Buchan, Rector Subject: Weekly Information Up-Date Date: Friday 28Th May 2021 ______
ELLON ACADEMY WEEKLY INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS To: All Parents/Carers From: Pauline Buchan, Rector Subject: Weekly Information Up-date Date: Friday 28th May 2021 ___________________________________________________________________________ Quote of the Week beginning Monday 31.5.21 We have now completed week 5 of our assessment block and staff continue to be busy with marking, feedback, and moderation. As you will be aware, the Director of Education Laurence Findlay issued a letter regarding the release of Provisional Grades to pupils by Wednesday 23rd June and we are confident we will meet that deadline. Here is the letter from Mr Findlay: Dear Parent/Carer, National Qualifications 2021 Further to my letter dated 1 April 2021, and as we move toward the latter stages of assessment evidence gathering under the SQA Alternative Certificate Model, I wish to provide you with an update regarding the remaining weeks. Firstly, I am pleased to report that Aberdeenshire received extremely positive feedback on the manner in which our processes have been developed and implemented. This scrutiny activity was undertaken by Education Scotland in their National Review of the implementation of the Alternative Certificate Model. Publication of this report by Education Scotland is expected shortly. Throughout this term, while assessment evidence gathering has been ongoing, young people will have been kept informed of their progress by their teachers through learning conversations. Provisional grades based on demonstrated attainment remain subject to the completion of the relevant quality assurance processes both within and between schools which will continue into June. Once the process and all stages of determining Provisional Grades is complete, young people will be provided by their school with a collation of the grades being submitted to the SQA. -

SPTC 2012 Annual Report
2012 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 64th Year Change continues to be the watchword for Scottish education and for SPTC too! As Vice-Convener of SPTC, I have encountered significant change as I found myself stepping into the shoes of our Convener, Kate Cunningham, who began long-term sick leave in the summer of 2011. Kate stood down late in the year but I am pleased to report she has made a good recovery and everyone at SPTC wishes her well. The pace of change at SPTC has continued unabated over this last financial year. Our target is SPTC’s long term financial sustainability, while strengthening the organisation’s services to parents and carers across Scotland. Parents and carers see SPTC as both independent and knowledgeable, something this year’s survey of our members has confirmed to us (more of that later). Members also told us how much they value the advice and practical support we provide. Membership is the backbone of our organisation: as our only source of funding, membership fees are vitally important if we are to continue in this unique role. The new three-year membership model for local authorities, which includes support time from SPTC for parent groups, continues to grow in popularity, as does the range of information and training sessions our team is able to offer. This financial year we worked face-to-face with in excess of 450 parents and carers in local authority areas from Moray and Aberdeenshire in the north, to North Ayrshire and Scottish Borders in the south – and many points in between. -

Reasons for using speech recognition 22 SUMMARY 24 WEB SITES 25 BOOKS, ARTICLES AND PAPERS 26 APPENDICES 28 2 Aims There is growing awareness in schools of the potential of Speech Recognition (SR) to provide access to the curriculum for pupils with SEN. However, approaches and success with SR vary widely. In some schools there are pupils using SR as their main means of writing and recording work, whereas in other schools staff have found SR difficult to implement with any success at all. The aim of the CALL Introducing Speech Recognition in Schools project was to investigate best practice in schools where speech recognition was being used successfully, and develop and evaluate training materials to help staff and students to learn to use speech recognition productively. A number of research reports and case studies on speech recognition were reviewed before designing the project: particularly, the reports from Elaine Donald at Perth High School (Donald, 1998); Martin Miles and colleagues (Miles, Martin & Owen, 1998), and in particular, the reports and case studies produced by the BECTa speech recognition project (BECTa, 2000). -
