CPDStepIn

Con MorrisDecember 18th, 2009

Regular readers of this blog may recall that we undertook to build an online community for those teachers (such as supply teachers) who want to keep up to date with their professional development. I am pleased to say that the community is now live. It’s called CPDStepIn.

CPDStepin is facilitated by Anne McGhee (an associate of the National CPD Team)

It currently includes the following features:

  • a discussion area with chat, forum and web meeting tools
  • a place to ‘give and take’ resources and links
  • links with mentors from many parts of Scotland
  • advice on PRD and examples of free, online CPD on Glow and beyond
  • a place to express your views
  • a feed of teaching posts from MyJobsScotland.com

Who is CPDStepIn for?

If you are on the supply list, or have problems accessing PRD and CPD through school and local authority mechanisms, then you are very welcome to join.

How do I join CPDStepIn?

Just contact Susan (s.lafferty@ltscotland.org.uk) and she’ll get you started

I don’t have a Glow username or password

We can sort that for you too! Read this CPDAnswers post for details.

The National CPD Team are grateful to LTScotland for their support in this important venture.

Please help spread the word about CPDStepIn.

    Dear Con

    I’m really pleased to hear about step-in for teachers who are still seeking employment. I have a guest GLOW user ID for the national site because of my interest in outdoor learning.

    If I can be of any assistance on the chat and forum, please let me know. Would I need a different GLOW user ID. I tend to contribute every couple of weeks to the outdoor learning forum on TES, answering queries and assisting teachers off line who are preparing for inspections and want to do more outdoor learning.I also work with students who have dissertations or outdoor learning tasks.

    I would be happy to give support, advice and where relevant resources or point folk in the direction of outdoor learning resources

    Best wishes
    Juliet

    I believe it will be valuable to have contact with other teachers via this medium. Particularly with regards to CPD.

    Thanks

    At last someone is recognising that supply staff may just have a lot to offer, been waiting for this for a long time. Really looking forward to using the site regularly. Thank you all involved.

    Oh dear… got really excited to receive an email apologising that I may wait a while for a personal response and inviting me to use my GLOW login to access CPDCentral. I got in touch to request a GLOW login! Back to the drawing board, I think…

    Hi Michelle

    Sorry if our email confused. Most of our requests are coming from last year’s probationers who have Glow logins, which we have arranged to get extended in most authorities. We will get to you as soon as we can
