CPD

Continuing Professional Development

Around 100 workshops, seminars and conferences, designed for teaching and non-teaching staff, take place annually at venues around Scotland. Participants can develop their knowledge, improve their skills and competences, and enhance their career prospects by taking part in the programme. Topics cover a broad range of educational management, teaching, care and welfare, and administrative areas. Examples are curriculum development; teacher induction training; behaviour management; the child at the centre; primary/secondary transition; team leadership; child protection and many more.  Annual conferences are held for diverse groups from Heads and Governors to Learning Support Teachers to School Secretaries, enabling colleagues from schools across Scotland to share best practice.

Specialists in their fields

Professionals and experts in their fields deliver SCIS CPD courses and presentation materials are included in delegate packs for all attendees. From August 2008, presentation materials will be available to download from the SCIS website, shortly after each event has taken place, subject to the relevant presenter giving their consent.

Excellent value for money

SCIS CPD courses represent excellent value for money. Organised as a service to member schools, they are charged at a not-for-profit rate, to be widely accessible.
