CPD Team

The conference for the National CPD Network in Scotland will take place in Stirling Management Centre on 9th / 10th March. The theme is “Donaldson and us – to boldly go..,”. The conference will focus on building wisdom around the recommendations of the Teaching Scotland’s Future report and its recommendations.

The first day will provide opportunities for shared discussion and reflection on a range of the recommendations linked in particular to the four big themes of:

• building leadership capacity
• partnership working
• coaching and mentoring
• impact

On day two, Graeme Logan will be attending as a contributor and participant.  The focus on the second day will be to develop and share strategic planning proposals around the themes identified above.  These proposals will  be circulated to the Scottish Government, Teachers’ Division, GTCS and SEQIA.

 A number of colleagues will be offering their insights and current responses to Donaldson in five minute “thought pieces” over the two days.   

 The network meeting gives an exceptional opportunity for educators from all the interested parties to come together for an extended period to reflect on and offer ideas on the way forward, ensuring that our partnership working will be authentic and will have impact on learning.  

 The whole event will be supported by the CPDNet community on Glow, including a sharing tool specially devised to bring out practice, issues, ideas and insights around each of the recommendations. Participants will be using laptops throughout, so keep an eye on the #cpdnet11 if you cannot make the event.
