Job Description:

e-Sgoil, based in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, is a national online learning initiative geared to promoting equity in curricular choice in schools. It is also a response to the rapid change in the way our young people live and learn.

e-Sgoil uses digital technology to enhance equity and opportunity by:

• Removing barriers to learning
• Promoting equity for all learners in terms of subject choice
• Facilitating wider access to Gaelic/Gàidhlig courses and cultural activities
• Ensuring that the curricular offer is suited to the needs of the local economy and community
• Adding value to what local schools are able to provide
• Ensuring resilience in specialist teaching supply
• Creating flexible job opportunities for staff, irrespective of their geographic location

All e-Sgoil teaching is live and interactive. Most classes are taught within Microsoft Teams, with teachers using other digital tools to engage and assess learners. Training and ongoing technical support is provided for all staff.

e-Sgoil teachers are part of a supply bank and the majority are on short-term contracts specific to individual school requirements. Teachers can be based anywhere and can teach to any location - although by and large we are focused on Scottish schools. We largely operate a needs-based service and online supply can be requested by schools on a period by period basis and as such the working pattern can differ from regular on-site supply. We are also supporting learners and schools as part of Scotland's National e-Learning Offer.
