Raymond Young’s stand-in (Con Morris) made a plea for the Standards as a unifying measure for assessing the impact of CPD, but not before playing a version of ‘Call my Bluff’ to see who knew their Standards best!

Gllian Brydson of Dumfries and Galloway Council led a lively session on how we measure the impact of CPD on professional practice.

Click to read the Draft paper on the evaluation of the impact of CPD

The attached draft paper from the CPD team considers:

• The importance of self-evaluation to individual teachers, schools and local authorities
• The place of the evaluation of CPD within the overall context of self-evaluation
• Some theory
• The overlap between theory and existing thinking in Scotland
• Five levels of evaluation: how and when applied
• The evaluation of significant inputs made, or of outputs sought only
• Practical strategies in techniques of evaluation, noting those already in use in Scotland
• Some recommendations for action
Please feel free to comment on the blog or directly to the CPD team.

Many thanks
