Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the means by which members of professional
associations maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills and develop the personal qualities required in their professional
lives.
Welcome to the Continuing Professional Development area of eRiding, a section dedicated to
the teaching and learning of issues relating to CPD in our Local Authority.
Here you will find useful information and resources.
The New CPD Arrangements
If any of you are running any training and/or holding meetings in a school and want to inform staff about the new CPD arrangements you
may find the attached PowerPoint presentation of use (thanks to Lynn Kelsey for her assistance with this).
Please feel free to download and personalise this resource for your own requirements.
The final four slides of the PowerPoint presentation refer to CPD contracts that are being developed for use with secondary schools and
with primary schools in an Ofsted category (it may be possible to explore SIPs using
contracts in all primary schools in 2008).
Any feedback on the ideas in these slides would be welcome.
Attached also is a flowchart which indicates how schools can match their CPD needs to their school development planning
cycle (thanks to John Seaman for this).
We are currently completing the design and build of a new online booking system for our new Blended Learning CPD modules.
John Seaman and Wendy Grundy are delivering training sessions on the online booking system for CPD.
If you need any more information about training please contact us using the information at the foot of the page.
Matching Your CPD Needs to Your School Development Planning Cycle in 2007
The Development of CPD
Support for the professional development for teachers and support
staff has been changing rapidly since the introduction of the DfES Strategy in 1998.
Traditionally, continuing professional development has been delivered
through attendance at in-service training courses and school training
events and by setting aside time to consider training materials
and discussing curriculum initiatives.
Now, schools are drawing on the many different opportunities for
CPD, including the use of leading teachers, Advanced Skills teachers,
secondment etc.
Teachers need access to high quality training and development in
order to help them in their vital role in raising standards in the
classroom.
As new demands are laid on teachers through the development of
the curriculum so teachers must be supported in identifying the
work they will need to do to equip themselves to meet the challenge.
Continuing Professional Development is designed to be supportive of teachers
in a changing world.
