Anti-poverty Professional Learning for the Teaching Profession
Menu
Murdo Macdonald, DHT
The EIS PACT Project, funded by the Scottish Government, responds to the serious concerns of teachers about the growing levels of dire poverty amongst our children and young people. Schools can’t solve poverty, but teachers want to do more to mitigate its effects.
PACT aims to support the profession to do that.
The training comprises three short modules- each two and a half to three hours in duration– in which participants are supported to learn more together about the nature, causes and consequences of poverty, particularly the consequences with regards to education; and about the potential levers that schools and teachers can employ and the pedagogical approaches that might be effective in seeking to further mitigate the damage that poverty does to young people’s participation in and enjoyment of school, and critically, to their outcomes.
