Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
We have extended the opportunities for teachers to access high quality and relevant professional development. Teachers are assisted to meet the challenge of social inclusion within our recently created professional development framework
The authority will marshall support for teachers wishing to achieve chartered teacher status
Leadership and Management
Our Leadership and Management Programme can open up opportunities for teachers who wish to achieve career progression through school management. A CPD framework for teachers wishing to pursue a management route has been developed
A Project Leadership Programme allows teachers to prepare for Principal Teachers posts through a focused project management scheme. A full induction programme for newly appointed Principal Teachers is now in place and a middle management programme is currently being devised
The council also provides extensive support for teachers progressing towards the Scottish Qualification for Headship (SQH) standard
Collegiate Activities
The implementation of the McCrone Agreement now places greater emphasis on the value for school development in a range of collegiate activities planned on an annual basis by schools. Increasingly, schools are planning in-service opportunities at local level within their learning community
Electronic CPD Portfolio
A web-based system has been developed to support your professional development. This system helps to identify personal professional priorities. The electronic portfolio records your professional development throughout your career in education. The Continuous Professional Development CPD Portfolio is available to every teacher
Partnerships with Universities
There are significant opportunities to gain formal accreditation for professional development activities through our partnerships with University of Glasgow and University of Strathclyde
