What is a +Glow event?

Comments: none

If you see this symbol on an agenda or an invite, it means the CPD event you are attending will be using Glow, so bring a laptop if you can! It may mean:

  • preparation for the event is happening on Glow
  • discussions are being recorded on a Glow group
  • other colleagues are accessing the event remotely using Glowmeet
  • there is a ‘back-channel’ discussion to the event using the Glowchat tool
  • resources will be accessed or added to Glowgroups during the event

Sometimes +Glow will be optional and sometimes not, so check with the organiser to be on the safe side!

Where will I get CPD for learning difficulties?

Comments: none

Here are some suggested steps:

  1. Your local authority CPD catalogue or coordinator may be able to help (you’ll find a list of them here). They may point you to the ASN specialist(s) for your area
  2. try searching for learning difficulties in CPDFind (the national database of CPD). There are providers who specialise in this area (eg the CALL centre)
  3. Visit the LTScotland Inclusive Education website
