Welcome and introduction

Continuing professional development (CPD) for educators involves an ongoing process of developing and improving your skills, insights and understanding in order to achieve excellence in your subject matter/s and to better serve your learners. The process can involve the traditional methods e.g. attending training courses but this process also includes a much broader range of activities e.g. the establishment of collaborative teacher networks where the sharing of knowledge and ideas is paramount and the vast amount of resource materials which are freely available online. 

We will delve into the CPD opportunities that are available for you during this unit of study.

By the end of this session, you will be comfortable in knowing how to use ICT to acquire specific subject resources that will assist you in your continuing professional development. You will also know where to look in order to interact with other educators and create collaborative networks.
