I'm really looking forward to the MSA conference which is only a couple of weeks away.
I'm honoured to be invited as a speaker, on The USA, in one of the afternoon sessions.
I don't plan on delivering some kind of masterclass on US politics or social issues as there are guys out there who are much more informed than me on these matters.
(I haven't actually been to the States since November 2002).
Instead, what I intend to do is to focus on some teaching strategies which could raise attainment in Higher Modern Studies and also reflect the capacities of A Curriculum for Excellence (ACFE).
All schools are being asked to raise attainment and deliver ACFE and my intention is to show that these two priorities are not mutually exclusive.
The USA is one of the great Higher courses. How can you not be excited about teaching this course? Whether you're a fan of the country or not (and I am, as it happens), there are so many issues to explore and so many great resources.
It would be great to see you at the conference, either as a familiar friendly face or if you're an online colleague I've yet to meet. The MSA conference is great value. It's a fantastic CPD opportunity and also a place to meet up with old friends, sorry, network :-)
Are you coming along?
