The latest meeting of the CPDReflect usability group met yesterday with colleagues of 3T Productions Ltd who are developing the self-evaluation toolkit for LTScotland and the National CPD Team. As ever, I am indebted to colleagues who come from far and wide and give of their time to provide invaluable feedback on the way the tools are developing.

In preparation for the session, we were able to get a ‘wee shot’ of the 1st version to go online. Although, the functionality is a long way from complete, the potential power of the tool to reflect on professional standards and identify CPD objectives and activities is already apparent.

A key step in realising the power of CPDReflect takes place next week at the CPD Network meeting in Glasgow. This is the group that represents the local authority CPD managers, CPD providers, Universities and other key bodies such as the GTCS. A good part of the meeting will be dedicated to CPDReflect and, in particular, how we can provide relevant and up-to-date examples of practice to bring the professional standards to life. Already colleagues such as Terry Kerr of Highlands Council and Raymond Young of Clackmannanshire have sent me some of their work in this area, which is very much appreciated.
