CPD builder
CPD builders offer you:
- ways to interact with and use, the resources
- illustrations, ideas to try out and links to resources relevant to a topic or theme
- opportunities to build a CPD programme to meet your personal needs and to contribute to your professional development plan
- open-ended challenges to encourage you to take control of your own learning.
It is a good idea to read the guidance notes completely before you start to use CPD builders.
If you are responsible for organising CPD programmes for groups of teachers, read Planning and facilitating group CPD sessions to help you get the most out of CPD builders.
Although you may start by exploring CPD builders from your own subject or vocational area, take a look at those from other areas as well. They focus on pedagogy and learning approaches that are relevant to all subjects and vocational areas. You can learn a lot from other areas about new approaches to active learning.
