CPD Team

On Wednesday, I was at a Web Champions shindig in South Ayrshire Council, an event based around the format the CPD Team pioneered at the Building Windmills event last year. I followed Katie Barrowman of the Glow team who was running a Glow Treasure Hunt, great fun! I used the subject of CPD tools for CfE to introduce a series of CPD-based challenges. You can see my Prezis below and  the challenges are in (or under development ) in the CPDChallenge Glow group.

South Ayrshire Council

I spent this morning with colleagues in South Ayrshire including Fiona Taylor (erstwhile member of the CPD Team) and Alastair Smith. Among many highlights were a discussion on how CPDReflect could be used as a way of supporting the PDR process with colleagues across the whole of Children & Families work in the council.

As a first step, and with some support from the CPD Team, they are hoping to build on a mapping from SAC’s own leadership framework and the Standard for Headship.

Alastair and Fiona also demonstrated the considerable progress made in designing professional communities on Glow that align with CfE and outlined the plans to integrate them into CPD. We finished the formal part of the morning with how CPDFind might be the very tool that helps integrate CPD provision right across the authority. After all this hard work, Fiona kindly treated us to lunch!
