College recognised again as Microsoft Showcase School
Showcase School 2022

Microsoft Education has once again recognised Forth Valley College as a Showcase School for session 22/23.

The College have been leading the way in the Scottish College sector in the field online and remote learning before, during, and as we have emerged from the pandemic lockdown restrictions.

Microsoft Showcase Schools are pioneers in education, and are held up as an elite group of schools that exemplify the best of teaching and learning in the world today. Only a few institutions earn this designation.

Bill Crawford, Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert (MIEE) Fellow and Lecturer in the Department of STEM and Construction, said, "It's fantastic news to hear the College has been selected as a Showcase School for a second year. By maintaining our showcase status, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to the digital transformation of teaching and learning. This is well-deserved recognition of the transformative work carried out by our students and staff over the past year."

Jennifer Nisbet, Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert (MIEE), and Learning and Digital Skills Academy Project Lead, said: “To achieve Showcase School is a challenge; to retain the status is even harder. Forth Valley College staff have shown incredible resilience and commitment to their digital learning and development, and the LDSA continues to build strong digital support for staff and students. Congratulations to everyone on a great achievement!”

 

Dr Ken Thomson, Principal of Forth Valley College, said: “This is fantastic news once again and excellent recognition for our staff who have developed a renowned reputation in this field. I am very proud that Forth Valley College is recognised as a Showcase School, but I am not surprised, as I know how important digital transformation is to us as a College and how hard everyone has worked to get us to such a high level. A big well done to the team.”
