Revitalising the ICT CPD
Staff development is critical, but problematic,
particularly in the context of 'rarely cover' and
the changing political and financial landscape.
This presentation will explore what we know about effective CPD, drawing
on the literature and work within the Vital Programme
(see www.vital.ac.uk). It will suggest a model for 21st
Century ICT CPD informed by this analysis and work on approaches to
learning emerging from the Schome Park Programme
(see www.schome.ac.uk/).
