Sciennes P4-7 Assembly SDG10 20.1.17
On Friday 20th January we were delighted to welcome back Former Pupils Jamie Underwood, Li-Sian Song and James Stewart, who are now in S6 at James Gillespie's High School and preparing for a visit to twinned schools in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in February. They have asked pupils to donate pencil cases, toys, games and clothes which can be handed into the School Office until Friday 2nd February.
Mr Howie gave an inspirational presentation on how Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Arkansas Little Rock Nine, successfully managed her emotions and response to the extreme prejudice and racist hostility she endured in 1957, just for going to school. Her remarkable dignity is an example to us all and linked very effectively to school use of 'Emotions Talk' as a support for pupils in managing their emotions. Mr Howie encouraged everyone to learn not only from role models in history but also from people around us in how we manage our emotions and stand up for what we value. We all certainly look to Mr Howie to inspire and encourage us with his engaging and deeply thought-provoking presentations, taking powerful lessons we can all learn from History and relating them to our school.
We thanked Sciennes' parent, Mr Colin Sim, who as well as recently securing £5500 for digital learning through funding applications also secured a grant of £2000 from South Central Edinburgh Neighbourhood Partnership to enhance our school grounds. There is great interest from the children in the willow structures currently being installed in the playground by Gus and his team from 'Earth Calling'.

Patrick Monahan at Sciennes Primary P4-7 Assembly
What a wonderful start to the new session to welcome celebrated and legendary comedian Patrick Monahan to the P4-7 Assembly on Friday 19th August. Patrick inspired our pupils with his sparkling tales about his own experiences of running and then joined most of the upper school for a Daily Mile run in the Meadows.
It was joyful to hear the children's laughter in Assembly. Patrick had them in the palm of his hand in the Hall and also later in the Meadows where he led a warm up session before the run. We are so grateful to him for giving up his time to inspire our pupils to be all they can be and to Believe they can Achieve. Thank you also to former Pupil Support Assistant, Rachel Inglis, who contacted Patrick for us and joined us for the morning.
Patrick's Edinburgh Festival Fringe evening show at The Gilded Balloon, Teviot - "That 80s Show" is recommended for 12+ but he is also running a children's show - "Pub Quiz for Kids", again at the Gilded Balloon, Teviot, which is for age 5 and upwards, at 2.30pm on 19th, 20th and 21st August and from 23rd-28th August. Come along and win a unicorn! We highly recommend!
Thank you, Patrick, for inspiring us and spreading happiness and for being so gracious with your time with all the children. A delight!

Sciennes Your Voice Matters 25.5.18
On Friday 25th May, we were delighted to welcome Paula from NSPCC to deliver a talk on Speaking Out to Stay Safe. Paula asked pupils what might cause worries and filled a bag with 'worry blocks' for each one mentioned. She then shared some of the ways that children might be unsafe, such as neglect or emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Children were asked to identify trusted adults (parents, grandparents, teachers) they could talk to about worries and for each one given, she removed a 'worry block', The ChildLine helpline telephone number was given as another source of help and videos were shown of possible scenarios where it might help to talk to ChildLine. Paula will return on Tuesday to deliver NSPCC workshops for P6 and P7 pupils next week.
The theme for the Assembly was 'Your Voice Matters' and there have been several occasions recently when pupil views and ideas have been listened to at a high level: Living Streets UK CEO Joe Irvin and Rebecca Simpson Living Streets Scotland meeting with pupils last Friday; Walk to School Week supported by Living Streets; and an amazing day of NHS consultation workshops for P7 delivered by the team from Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health (RCPCH) and consultant paediatricians from The Royal Hospital for Sick Children. RCPCH flew from London and were extremely impressed by our young people's engagement, creativity and effort. P6 have also been invited to participate in an exciting event to mark National Clean Air Day 2018 with the Transport Minister on 21st June and all of these wonderful opportunities are encouraging and empowering our pupils to speak up and speak out to make a difference.
Chiara and Amelia announced their bake sale for Amnesty International raised an incredible £320 and P5 pupils promoted the activities they are leading with P4 at Saturday's Year of Young People Summer Fair.
We congratulated P7 on another example of excellent conduct at East Fortune this week and P6 on excellent sporting attitudes at the Active Schools Games at the Hub event where we retained the Cricket trophy!

Sciennes P4-7 JASS Assembly 19.5.17
On Friday 19th May P7 House and Sports Captains explained the Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS) programme and Sciennes' involvement in it since it was developed.
The Junior Award Scheme Scotland (JASS) is an accredited learning programme, celebrating wider achievement, for young people (P6-S2). Sciennes and Tollcross Primary Schools have been implementing this scheme since we piloted it in 2009.
The concept emerged from a discussion during a Sciennes P7 visit to Lagganlia between Alice Brown, Gael Logan and Barry Hewitt who came up with the idea to set up a 'Duke of Edinburgh' style award scheme for upper primary pupils. The scheme has since been developed into a city wide, then a national and now UK programme.
There are three levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold), each requiring a higher degree of commitment. Each level also includes four sections to be completed:
My interest - a hobby or interest
Get Active, Stay Active - involvement in a sport or physical activity
Me and My World - a community or environmental project
Adventure - a teamwork challenge through involvement in an outdoor activity (e.g Benmore and Lagganlia or ski-ing or horseriding or forest walks).
P6 and P7 pupils have been asked to prepare a short 5 minute talk outlining what they have done this year to achieve their award. Volunteering at the Summer Fair on Saturday 3rd June 12.30pm-3.30pm can still count towards JASS, if anyone needs to make up hours for 'Me and My World.'
We celebrated James, Alice, Hamza and Ali's fantastic achievement in winning Third Place, representing Edinburgh at the national Euroquiz Final, held at the Scottish Parliament on Monday 15th June. We played excerpts from the event (available in its entirety on YouTube) and the team challenged everyone to answer some of the questions. Tricky questions! A fantastic achievement.
Mylo and Christopher in P6 explained their new Code Club and thanked parent Tim Pask for his support.
Well done to the netball team and to P5 on excellent homework produced for their China project. Congratulations to P5B who came 9th out of 2335 schools in a recent national Sumdog competition. A number of our classes has used Sumdog over the years and P5 have recently been piloting this maths website as a year group with hugely motivating results, which we aim to roll out to other year groups in time.
The Eco Group were thanked for a successful Litter Pick on Friday 12th May, led by Mr Hutchison, and Caitlin asked for donations of seashells for the Playground.
We wished everyone a safe and happy holiday on Monday.
Sciennes Red Nose Day P4-7 Assembly 24.3.17
On Friday 24th March 2017 Sciennes celebrated Red Nose Day with a whole school Comedy Festival, designed to develop confidence in public speaking and as part of our Health and Wellbeing programme, in support of Comic Relief. We watched a film about 12 year old Hassan from Sierra Leone and found out how Comic Relief has supported him return to school following the Ebola crisis.
Generous donations and support for P6 led bake sales, friendship bracelet, bath bombs and keyring sales as well as P7 Comedy Book and Red Noses sales have helped our school community to come together to make a difference to others, in the UK and abroad. Thank you.
Some of our pupil jokers took to the stage at Assembly to share funny stories, knock-knock jokes, slapstick and one-liners. Thank you to everyone who took part and will receive a special Red Nose Day certificate next week.
Our P7 House and Sports Captains celebrated many recent pupil achievements and P7 Sports Captain, Robert, reported on recent runaway Cross Country success.

Sciennes Easter P4-P7 Assembly 3.4.2015
Mrs Noble led the P1-3 and the P4-7 Easter Assemblies in the Hall on the last day of term and wished everyone a safe and HAPPY Easter holiday.
Sciennes Easter Assembly March 2018
On Thursday 29th March, Headteacher Mrs Alison Noble led the whole school Easter Assembly. Mrs Ruth McVicker played the Sciennes School Song, and it was lovely to be joined by recently retired co-composer Mrs Claire Ford. Stuart Irvin joined us from St Catherine's of Argyll and retold the Easter story. Congratulations to P6 pupils Rory, Isla, Ella and Evie who collected an amazing 310 Easter eggs in their Foodbank Appeal.
Mrs Noble then wished staff well, first thanking Edinburgh University Volunteer Language students Lucas and Tycho for their support this term to classes in Spanish and French and then passing on all our best wishes to Miss Kirsty Gallagher who is getting married in the Easter holidays, to Mrs Emma Kidd who is expecting her new baby soon and to Ms Chantelle Hall who is heading off on new adventures in London.
Mrs Jennie Waters has been an outstanding, devoted and much loved teacher at Sciennes for fourteen years and Mrs Noble spoke for everyone in thanking her sincerely and wishing her well in her new post at Dunbar Primary School. She will be sorely missed but hope she will keep in touch with all her friends at Sciennes.
The special whole school Assembly also marked the retirement of our incomparable and dynamic Business Manager, Ms Angela Christie, who has worked tirelessly throughout her career at Sciennes to provide the best possible experiences and learning for generations of our pupils. Her talents and capabilities are countless and the impact she has had at Sciennes is staggering.
A former Sciennes parent herself, Ms Christie has always worked indefatigably in close partnership with the Friends of Sciennes School Charity Trust and all the many Parent Council subgroups over many years. We were joined at the Assembly by several parent representatives, including Sue Lewis, Emma Kirk and Phoebe Cochrane who presented her with a gift and a banner of messages made in secret by all the pupils.
Mrs Noble and pupil Oscar presented Ms Christie with a beautiful floorbook which Ms Anstruther had arranged to be filled with lovely and creative messages from each class in school. Mrs Noble celebrated some of Ms Christie's outstanding achievements: arranging innovative cycling programmes for P1-P7, promoting sustainability, Active Travel and Spanish, introducing online payments, driving improvements in digital learning, championing outdoor learning and our wonderful playground and ever striving to light the flame of learning in all she does. And all this on top of and far beyond her Business Manager remit, where she also excels! Truly, a Sciennes Legend and thoroughly deserving of now being able to timetable some time for herself. We wish Angela a very happy retirement, with deep love and grateful respect.
After School News, the whole school sang the 'Spring Chicken' song and Mrs Noble wished all our families a safe and happy Easter holiday. School resumes on TUESDAY 17th April.
Easter P4-7 Assembly March 2019
On Friday 29th March 2019 we welcomed Stuart Irvin from St Catherine's Argyle Church to both P1-3 and P4-7 Assemblies. The children enjoyed spotting ways Stuart had changed his identity as he told the story of the Road to Emmaus. Mr Hunter led the P1-3 Assembly in Ms Anstruther's absence and thoroughly enjoyed receiving a Birthday badge! We celebrated pupil achievements and sang the Spring Chicken song.

Sciennes Clean Air Day 18.6.2021
Due to staff absence, this week’s Assembly on Friday 18 June was emailed to classes. The focus was on Clean Air Day and marked five years of Sciennes’ support for the campaign. We had been pencilled in for a visit from the new Environment Minister, Mairi McAllan, yesterday but unfortunately she had conflicting engagements. Our P7 Captains were presented with a Clean Air Day bag from John Bynorth at Environmental Protection Scotland as a thank you for their contribution to the successful campaign launch in May. Mr Hutchison’s P4A class received colouring books in recognition of his support since we launched the first Clean Air Day at Sciennes with former Environment Minister Roseanne Cunningham. The children have campaigned for clean air in surrounding streets and for closure of Sciennes Road outside the school through the Living Streets initiative, as well as learning about how air pollution can affect everyone’s health both here and abroad. P3 pupils Poppy, Makeda and Ella gave a presentation on how they are helping the Homeless and how they want to change the world!
Sciennes SDGs 11.6.21
On Friday 11 June 2021 we focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how our ECO Team is working to support these goals in school. P6C had a chance to hold their own United Nations session this week, role playing and debating to help them understand how representatives from 193 member states across the globe are working together to tackle poverty, reduce inequalities and tackle climate change. P6C came up with some amazing ideas to support refugees and help countries deal with COVID-19.
This year, our ECO Team has been focusing on three main topics: Litter, Life Below Water and Climate Action. P4 reps are currently following up on their recent fact-finding mission with Mr Scott. They have decided to make signs to help us all recycle using the correct bags and bins. Today, P7 Rosa Mellanby gave a rousing call to action in reducing single use plastic (which can end up in the oceans). She asked everyone to boycott plastic straws – in school and at home. P6 pupils Ellie Napier, Vatanda McColl and Gracie Kirk prepared a presentation on Palm Oil. Vatanda was absent today so Ellie and Gracie broadcast live at both Assemblies. They were so knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about raising awareness of the problems of palm oil use and making suggestions for change. Thank you to all our ECO Reps for working so hard this year with Miss Wittland and Ms Gallagher and thank you to Ellie, Grace and Rosa for presenting so well today.
Sciennes Alan Turing Assembly 14.5.21
On Friday 14 May 2021 our Assemblies focused on Alan Turing, not only to raise awareness about his inspirational achievements as the father of the modern computer and the role he played in cracking the Enigma machine code during the Second World War (hastening its end and thereby saving millions of lives) but also to raise awareness of LGBT+ Equalities.
Sciennes Deaf Awareness week 7.5.21
On Friday 7 May 2021 our Assemblies focused on Deaf Awareness Week and we are extremely grateful to parent Aicha Reid for providing signing videos which we have used in class each day. Our P4 and P7 Equalities Advisors produced their own signing videos to share at Assembly. Unfortunately, we experienced technical difficulties which forced us to abandon the live P1-3 Assembly broadcast which was hugely disappointing. We managed to get operational for the P4-7 Assembly and gave some information about deafness and hearing impairment and shared the story of Helen Keller’s life and amazing achievements. We will broadcast the Assembly to P1-3 on Monday and will first make sure all is working well in cyberland!
Sciennes Participate and Lead Assembly 30.4.21
On Friday 30 April 2021 both our Assemblies focused on pupils and our school community not only participating but also taking the lead. We celebrated the Friends of Sciennes School’ Seven Hills Challenge and shared details of how many pupils took part. It was wonderful to see so many of our families taking to the hills! We showed a slideshow of happy, smiling children enjoying days out across the city. Mr Armstrong and our Digital Leaders shared how they have been supporting teachers and pupils with using technologies for teaching and learning.
Well done Eve Buckeridge and Kathleen Hunt who under their ‘own steam’ decided to clear up rubbish at Portobello beach on Saturday followed by a Bake Sale for World Wildlife Fund & raised over £25! We are so very proud of them!
Congratulations to P5 pupil Rosemary Reid who received a Green Pencil Award with her poem “Nature in Lockdown.” All the children watched a video of her reciting her winning poem at Assembly. Well done, Rosemary!
Sciennes Easter Assembly 2021
Stuart Irvin, the Minister from St Catherine’s Argyll Church joined us on Thursday 1 April 2021 for the live broadcast of our Easter Assemblies to P1-3 pupils and then to P4-P7 pupils. Stuart told the story of Maundy Thursday and Mr Hunter focused on Spring and Spring cleaning! Our three P4 ECO Reps, Stanley, Abby and Sara, demonstrated their interviewing skills by asking Mr Neil Scott (our janitor) about Recycling at Sciennes and how we can all help make it better. Mr Scott asked them for their ideas on reducing, reusing and recycling. What are yours? Tell your ECO Rep. Thank you to both of our wonderful janitors Mr Scott and Mr Reid for working so hard for all of us, recycling 400 milk cartons as well as paper and card every single day. Mr Hunter read “Sonny’s Wonderful Wellies” by Lisa Stubbs to P1-P3.

Assemblies on Friday 13th november 2020 related to our values of Teamwork and Respect through Learner Participation. P7 Sports Captains Josh, Cyrus, Finn and Callum introduced themselves and shared their own inspirational sportsmen to mark the upcoming International Boys and Men in Sport Day on 17th November. Many thanks to P5 pupil Alfie for drawing this date to our attention. All sixteen of our P7 Junior Leadership Team members have now introduced themselves at our weekly online Assemblies, broadcast live to the school. Our P6 Junior Road Safety Officers Eilidh, Amy and Rory again took the lead, this time in launching Road Safety Week. The theme this year is ‘No Need for Speed’ and they invited pupils to take part in designing their own Road Safety poster next week as well as encouraging everyone to ‘Be Bright and Be Seen.’ Mr hunter read a short story to P1-3 called “Bright is Right” from Think Education about the importance of being seen in the dark.

Sciennes Junior Award Scheme for Schools 4.10.2019
On Friday 4th October 2019, we launched our Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS) for P6 and P7 pupils. JASS is a Duke of Edinburgh style award for 10-14 year olds and stemmed from an original idea by Sciennes staff! Today it is an international programme, recognising young people's personal achievements. Pupils can gain Bronze in P6 and Silver in P7 (with Gold achievable by the end of S2). All our pupils attending Lagganlia next week will gain accreditation for one quarter of the award, the 'Adventure' element. P7A Lauder pupils shared their memories of Benmore and what they are looking forward to at Lagganlia.
P3 pupils gave a presentation on their Harvest Appeal for Foodbank and reminded everyone that donations can be handed in to Class Teachers until Friday 11th October. P3 pupils will come and collect. Local Minister Stuart Irvin from St Catherine's of Argyll and a representative from Foodbank will join us for a Harvest Assembly next Friday.
Elika in P5 shared her amazing experience at the launch of the Sir David Attenborough Polar Research Vessel and P7 Rebecca announced this year's ECO Reps. It was a very difficult choice with over 150 out of 375 pupils showing interest in the 12 P4-P7 places. An indication of how important environmental issues are to our young people. Congratulations to Elizabeth who retains her World Stone Skimming Champion title and to all the girls who performed in an amazing ballet production of Cinderella by the Grange School of Ballet at the Churchill Theatre. P7A Lauder pupils led the singing superbly this week!

On Friday 27th September 2019, P6 pupils Serena, Lexia, Sofia and Bella confidently shared their experiences presenting at the Scottish Learning Festival on Wednesday 25th September with Jenni Snell (Youthlink Scotland) and Rachael Hatfield (MSYP).
Pupils from Grange in P7A capably took their turn in presenting the P4-7 Assembly and in leading the singing. P3A pupils Laura and Michael were roundly applauded for their clear and confident launch of this year’s P3 led Harvest Appeal for Foodbank. Non-perishable food items can be handed into class from Monday until Friday 11th October. P3 pupils will come to classes to collect.
To celebrate the fourth anniversary of the launch of the UN Global Goals (which have their base in human rights) we watched a video - “Just A Kid” - and invited pupils to keep thinking about how they might make a difference to others this year.
This was the last week for sharing Resilience Role Model posters and Ms Gallagher was genuinely touched that a group of P4C girls made a lovely poster about her! Heather’s poster about her Grandad, Anaya’s about her Dad and Anjalie’s poster about Evelyn Glennie were really well presented as well.
Sciennes Learner Participation 13.9.2019
On Friday 13th September 2019, Primary Seven pupils helped introduce our Learner Particiipation Groups for the year. Last year. seeking to expand participation, we replaced our Pupil Council with six pupil groups. Following consultation with pupils and staff, this year pupils will contribute to school improvement priorities within their four House Groups, from P2-P7. We reminded everyone about our competition to design new House logos, which can be handed in to House Leaders on a piece of paper with name and class on the reverse.
Primary Sevens congratulated everyone on their Swimathon and fundraising efforts and thanked all the parent organisers, especially Catherine McCormack, for a fantastic event.
Sciennes Values 23.8.19
On Friday 23rd August we revisited our School Values of Respect, Inclusion, Teamwork and Effort and gave reminders of our school rules.
Our dear and wonderful friend, comedian Patrick Monahan, had hoped to be able to join us briefly at Assembly but his schedule was extremely busy. One of the UK's hardest working and talented comedians, we wish him well and thank him for kindly thinking of us. Act quickly try to catch his show #goals at the Gilded Balloon at 8pm this weekend!
Great to welcome P4 to their first upper school Assembly and Mr Hunter encouraged everyone to show respect for all the major improvements to school property.
Pupils were reminded to share their achievements with us so we can share them at future assemblies.
Mr Hunter asked pupils to remind families about the road closure at drop off and pick up times. We look forward to our first Cycle to School Day of the year next Friday 30th August and thank P7 Class Teacher Miss McGrouther for organising.
Sciennes End of Term Assembly 2019
Once a year we all come together in the Hall - twenty two classes from Primary 1 to Primary 7 - for our End of Year Assembly, led for the first time this year by Headteacher Mr Andrew Hunter.
A particularly busy year at Sciennes Primary School has seen significant improvements to facilties and we are grateful that everyone in the community has supported one another to manage the challenges of extensive builiding works. Very well done to our pupils, staff and families for all their efforts, working so hard together to make 2018-2019 such a successful year, rounded off with a stunning musical "The Adventures of Super Stan" by our marvellous Primary Seven. All good wishes and fond farewell to Mrs Hogan, Miss Ross, Ms Pearmain and Mrs Gibb and we wish everyone a restful and happy summer.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
