New Mindset Teams cohorts launched

29/1/2021

 
Between November 2020 and January 2021, three new ‘Mindset Teams’ cohorts were launched, all with a STEM oriented focus.

Mindset Teams is our flagship growth mindset professional learning programme, supporting 700+ teachers across Scotland.

Mindset Teams invites groups of three school staff or more to form an ‘implementation team’ to apply and embed growth mindset across their learning community. Visit our Mindset page for more information.

In November, we kicked off with 38 teachers and school leaders from schools across Scotland on our ‘secondary maths’ programme.
​
This was followed in January with 33 teaching professionals joining our new primary science course, and a cohort of 63 mindset maths learners from North Lanarkshire.

Refreshing our brand in 2020

29/1/2021

 
Our executive director Morag Arnot reflects on the challenge of rebranding during a pandemic….

In 2020, despite the global health, social and economic crisis, Winning Scotland undertook a brand refresh - new logo, new name, new narrative, new website - it was no small undertaking and I learned a lot from the process.

I’ve been reflecting, as you tend to at this time of year. I was thinking about what was occupying my mind last January. We were in the midst of trying to discover more about our organisation, its perception, positioning and offering. With my background in communications and marketing, this was something which had been an ambition of mine for some time.

Having undertaken research with our present customers and partners earlier in October 2019, in January 2020 Winning Scotland was just about to commission focus groups to start the process of understanding how we were perceived among audiences that didn’t know us. 
​
It was the first formal market research we had commissioned for years.

PCS Plus piloted in community sport

19/1/2021

 
Positive Coaching Scotland Plus (PCS Plus) is Winning Scotland’s national programme that uses sport and physical activity to help young people develop confidence and resilience.

​PCS Plus is widely used in formal sports like football and rugby. However many young people enjoy their sport more informally, through local charities and community groups

The coaches and volunteers in these settings do not have access to PCS Plus development and training.

In 2019-20, we piloted PCS Plus in a range of community sport settings to test its effectiveness. The pilot was funded by the Baillie Gifford sponsorship committee
