Glow provides students, teachers and parents/carers a safe and reliable forum in which they can share and discuss the curriculum/resources learning virtually and collaboratively across the network. Glow is funded by the Scottish Government and managed by Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS) who have worked closely with local authorities to plan and implement the service. The new service is brilliant but it doesn’t offer any options for informal education. Young Scot plan to create a website that allows students to have a holistic education and teachers to have resources linked to Young Scot and its topics. The partnership between Young Scot and Glow has just began and plans are in early stages. Glow have granted us their full support to create and design the Young Scot Glow pages.

The group will advise on Young Scot materials and share best practice to inform Young Scot’s approach. The newly formed group of youth workers and teachers will meet three times a year in various locations around Scotland to provide Young Scot with an invaluable insight to help ensure our materials have the potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people |
