Ian Smith

         


Ian Smith has worked in Scottish education for more than 30 years. He was a secondary teacher for fourteen years and then worked in various posts at national level. In 1996, while at Scottish CCC, he wrote a paper entitled 'Teaching for Effective Learning' which is credited with having a major impact on thinking about classroom methodology in Scotland.

In the past twelve years he has run workshops with over 40,000 of Scotland's teachers face-to-face - over half the profession. He is the principal author of a set of training materials on Assessment for Learning which have been sold to more than half the schools in Scotland.

One in every three teachers in Scotland has a personal copy of his booklet 'Assessment for Learning : mark less to achieve more'. He also has many years experience of offering consultancy to schools on classroom methodology.

Here are some things people say about Ian's courses:

'Great! Pacy, practical and relevant'

'Surprised at how enjoyable an in-service can be''

'I feel motivated and energised - thank you!'

'I feel like rushing back to school now - and it's Friday afternoon!'

'Third time I have heard Ian Smith and I want to sign up for more'
