John Johnson of Sandaig Primary is taking Roland Barth’s quote “The most powerful form of learning, the most sophisticated form of staff development, comes not from listening to the good words of others, but from sharing what we know with others” to a new level. With some limited support from the CPD Team, he is setting up an online ’CPD collective’ where teachers can contribute CPD opportunities using a wiki.

To find out more:

• You can read John’s blog post at Connected Live
• You can see his presentation from a recent TeachMeet in Perth
• You can have a look at the early development wiki for the initiative.

We look forward to being John’s partner in this exciting development.
