Abstract

This symposium was a platform for four teacher-researchers (Gauld, Green, Huxtable and Leigh) to present their research undertaken during a period of secondment. The secondments were funded as part of a successful partnership bid to the Scottish Government Initiative to Facilitate an Increase in Masters-Level Learning, by Dumfries and Galloway Council - led by Brydson - and the University of Glasgow Dumfries Campus - led by Odena. The symposium chair outlined the nature of the partnership and introduced the four projects on additional support needs, barriers to parental involvement, looked-after children, and an early intervention programme. The discussant (Beck) offered a critique of the symposium as a whole, using as a background the implementation of ‘Teaching Scotland’s Future’ (Donaldson, 2011).
