Motivation

A curriculum for success

As a team of educators, we wanted to provide more opportunities for learners to develop crucial leadership and meta-skills. That’s why we set out to create Gen+, a programme designed to empower young people with the tools they need to succeed and to help them to recognise their unique skills and talents.

Collaboration

Finding the right collaborators

When we started building Gen+, we knew we needed the right team of experts to bring our vision to life. With the support of the Peter Vardy Foundation, we were able to assemble a group of teachers and educational technologists who share our passion for helping young people thrive. Together, we’ve created a programme that we’re truly proud of.

Ambition

Dreaming big

Our ultimate goal with Gen+ is to make sure that every young person in Scotland has access to the kind of education that will set them up for a bright future. With that goal in mind, we’re constantly working to improve and expand our programme, so that we can reach more learners and teachers and make an even greater impact.

Values

Practising what we preach

Values-based leadership is fundamental to our Gen+ Learn and Teach leadership teachings, and equally guides our organisation’s approach to work. Our values include tenacity – holding fast to our cause; joy and adventure – encouraging playful modes of learning and bringing our own humour and enthusiasm to what we do; and teamwork and inclusion – prioritising our partnerships and working openly, trusting boldly and leading bravely.

Endeavour

Improvement driven by curiosity

Gen+ is an endeavour in innovation. To us, innovation means curiosity and the drive to always improve. We regularly refresh and develop our curriculum through user testing, focus groups, and feedback. We restlessly ask how can we make Gen+ better for pupils and teachers, and see this quest not as a challenge but as an opportunity.
