CPD Partnership Opportunities Programme in Outdoor Learning

Learning and Teaching Scotland is working in partnership with the Scottish Government to provide a programme of professional development opportunities for teachers and early years’ practitioners.

The programme will run from mid-November 2010 to the end of March 2011 and will provide practitioners with a choice of practical and focused development opportunities. All CPD opportunities will be provided free of charge (although transport and cover costs cannot be met) and places will be allocated directly on a first come first served basis.

The difficulties in attending CPD sessions in the current financial situation is recognised and a wide range of times, dates and venues has been offered in an attempt to facilitate attendance.

Topics will cater for early, primary and secondary sectors and will engage with key issues for teachers and practitioners many of which were highlighted at the range of regional conferences held in May and June.

We aim to provide support for over 1000 teachers and education practitioners directly through this programme and hope that many more will benefit from using the new materials due to be available at the end of March next year.

A flyer with brief details and dates has been sent to all schools and key personnel in mid-October and the full programme – in the form of a PDF – has been emailed to all schools and key personnel, including all those who attended one of the 6 regional conferences in May/June 2010. Details of how to sign up online for CPD sessions are on the flyer with a direct link on the PDF and can also be found at www.LTScotland.org.uk/outdoorlearningevents
