ESU Scotland has sent a Page Scholar to the USA every year since 1979.
The Scholarship is intended to promote the exchange of educational
ideas between Britain and the USA. Scholars travel to the USA to study
a specific aspect of American education. While in the USA, the teacher
meets with fellow professionals, and learns from their different
approaches to educational issues.
The scholar stays with members of the ESU Branches in the USA. The Page
Scholar is chosen each year by the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS). The
Scholarship is advertised by the EIS in the Scottish Educational
Journal. The advert normally appears in the February issue of the
journal.
The 2009 Page Scholarship was awarded to Marguerite Edwards, a teacher from Aberdeen, who
studied Professional Learning Communities and collaborative practice. If you would like to
read Marguerite's report,
