Dear Member
I wanted to share with you a range of upcoming events and opportunities that might be of interest -
- Behaviours of Concern Training: There are only a few places left for the first Behaviours of Concern training session that we are running on 25th September. More details on our website and do register today if you want to come along (we will be running further sessions later in the year).
- The first ever Borders Pride event is happening tomorrow. If you are in the area, do come along to show support – more details at What's On.
- Everyone to Kenmure Street: Tickets for this free screening are also going fast. Sign up on Eventbrite if you want to come along.
- Living Rent: Go to our What's On page to see the latest update from Living Rent, and their petition calling for a rent freeze (that same link has other events that may also be of interest).
- Supporting the women of Afghanistan: A group at Edinburgh University is looking for volunteers to support mentoring of and education for Afghan women and girls. Please visit here for more information.
- Scotdec's Annual Teacher Networking Event: This year, Scotdec is exploring what decolonising teaching and learning looks like for different people in different spaces in Scottish education. For more information and to register, please visit Eventbrite: Decolonising Teaching and Learning in Scotland
It’s been a very busy week in the LA office, as we continue to campaign on a range of fronts, from pushing for maximum temperature limits in classrooms to action on dysregulated behaviour and excessive workload. And, of course, supporting members with a range of individual issues. We’ll endeavour to keep you informed of these as the term progresses. In the meantime, though, I hope you are finding this revised bulletin format helpful.
Have a great weekend!
Alison
