We've been hearing from our #GenPlusGang to find out what teachers think of our new Web App.

Our pupil booklets are a hit, by downloading them at the beginning of the course, you can keep all resources handy. The flexibility of our course means that if you'd rather use these digitally, you can!

GENPLUS @genplus.bsky.social · Sep 16

#MetaSkills are vital to ensuring that #AllLearningCounts!

By building these in young people, we're creating a future where they can be successful and resilient individuals 🤩

👹Anxiety Gremlins: we all have them, but how do we deal with them?

#GenPlusTrailblazers learn about pesky gremlins, and the different types of gremlins that cause unhelpful thoughts and contribute to feelings of stress or anxiety.

GENPLUS @genplus.bsky.social · Aug 29

Schools are back & so are we!

Our Director of Education Becca visited Maisondieu Primary School, @anguscouncil.bsky.social to deliver #GenPlus lessons & had a great day learning more about the school and how they embed #MetaSkills learning into everyday.

Great work!⭐ @educationscotland.bsky.social

How can tomatoes make you more organised? 🤔🍅

The Pomodoro Method is a tool our Trailblazers pick up in our Organisation unit.

But what is it?

1️⃣Focus on a task for 25 minutes
2️⃣Take a 5 minute break
3️⃣Repeat

It helps you to stay focused, yet allows you to recharge - just avoid doomscrolling!

The word "POMODORO" in bold, white letters on a yellow to orange gradient background, with several red tomatoes.

GENPLUS @genplus.bsky.social · Jul 23

A tool that Gen+ students learn & can be applied at any age. The Three Rs; great for #BackToSchool or a summer declutter.

What are the Three Rs?
1️⃣Required: things you need
2️⃣Recharge: things or activities that help you do your best
3️⃣Redundant: things or activities that don't help & you don't need

GENPLUS @genplus.bsky.social · Jul 17

Young people participating in our Gen+ Programme appreciate that #MetaSkills don't need to work alone, and when we combine them it develops us even further 🧠⚡
