Joanne sent the following excerpts from SCIPD visit delegates e-mails since the visit which give a flavour of the continuing positivity about the usefulness of the opportunity:
Thought the whole experience was brilliant. The aspect that I am going to take forward in my practice is a variation on the variation theory to develop an action enquiry around improving learning and teaching based on the idea we saw. If anyone else would like to work with me on this let me know. I don’t want to go too deeply into the theory, but see this as having real potential in developing a framework for peer mentoring/teaching.
I will have some discussion with our Ed Psych or probationer mentors and would be pleased to share ideas with you.
I’m going to try to write up notes from visits on blog.
I had a fantastic week and emphasise what a pleasure it was to be with such a great group of people. I know we will all meet again soon but happy to keep in touch and provide any support/advice (either professional or shopping!) to anyone in the future.
I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks for the wonderful opportunity that I was part of.
Still reflecting on what we saw, what a wonderful opportunity the week was.
I feel we have created a collegiate network that will be useful for the future not only in sharing good practice but also in allowing us to draw on each others expertise in relation to future challenges.
An experience of a life time and a great CPD opportunity.
The variety of visits and activities made the most of the short time we had with our colleagues in Hong Kong.
This is a trip which I will always remember, not only for the wonderful opportunity it offered in visiting
Hong Kong’s Educational Establishments but also for the camaraderie and sharing of experiences it allowed
with colleagues from all over Scotland.
In summary, we’ve plenty to share about what we learned and how we’ll use what we learned and plenty to share anecdotally about what we experienced too in the miniscule amount of ‘free time’ we had. As we debriefed for the final time of the visit –in HK airport at 10pm, before our long flight home the group unanimously felt it had been an exceptional professional and personal experience.
