Delivering CPD with realsmart

March 4, 2010 in Front Page News, How do I...?, rafl, rpassport by admin

cpd1Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is central to school improvement. A well resourced programme that is effectively led and coordinated, and involves people at all levels, creates a positive climate where professional development can flourish to the benefit of individual pupils. The programme needs to be linked effectively with performance management. In doing so, it also needs to build on and share the knowledge and skills of staff, and meet the needs of individuals and teams, as well as those of the whole school. We now have the 5 following Professional Standards built as passport pages within realsmart:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Core
  • Post Threshold
  • Excellent Teacher
  • Advanced Skills Teacher

You can duplicate these now from our community area. Just click the community tab in your ‘my content’ area, and search the titles.
