A very clear outline of the different ways to identify CPD needs and to benefit from working collaboratively with others. CPD can be a lonely pursuit when trying to develop skills on one's own. However sharing ideas with others broadens one's understanding of a subject area and helps to appreciate the different skills and levels of knowledge that other colleagues may have
Close colleagues are important.
The importance of considering both formal and informal supports. Ensuring the sharing and seeking of best practice to support CPD and upskilling
It is important to keep up to the best way of doing things and teaching the most up to date material.
This unit has granted me permission to seek additional support and advice for my teaching practice and for providing support and an opportunity for progression routes for the students.
