We cannot believe we are half way through Term 1 already this year #FabFalkirkFolk! Our team are finding it so wonderful and beneficial getting back out to visit you all in person in your settings. During these visits we continue to highlight the CLPL opportunities our team (and others) are offering this year to further develop your knowledge, understanding and skills.
You can find a copy of our Early Years CLPL Overview for 2021/22 on our Glow site which you will see features a range of exciting opportunities suitable for everyone working in the early year’s sector in Falkirk. Every setting has a copy of this CLPL overview so make sure you take a look.
Please sign up for each of these courses on CPD Manager but if you have any problems with this please get in touch with your cluster link officer. It is not intended that you or your team will attend all training. It is important to be selective as to the professional learning that supports your improvement priorities which you may choose to complete as a full staff team or individually.
Our self-guided CLPL continues to be available on our Glow Sharepoint. As always, we would encourage you to discuss any CLPL you take part in with your colleagues afterwards and remember to review the impact this learning has had on your practice afterwards.
Speech and Language Therapy, as well as our ASN Service continue to offer useful CLPL for our ELC teams. These sessions are not available to sign up for via CPD Manager, instead these sessions are on request. Watch out for more details on each of these shortly!
This year we also have a series of Bitesize Quality Improvement Methodology Blethers. The first session has a focus on Equity and the Model for Improvement which you can also sign up for on CPD Manager. Don’t miss out!
You will also notice our 30 minute updates highlighted on our CLPL overview which are incredibly helpful for our Senior leaders. You will gather lots of useful advice and tips during these 30 minutes so make sure you get signed up to join us and have your cuppa ready.
We can’t forget about our Olle Modules which are another great way of achieving your CLPL hours for SSSC registration requirements, as well as meeting areas of your own personal development plan. Olle modules can be accessed remotely and provide you with a wide range of modules accessible from those geared at new employees, to those with aspirations of progression into a leadership role, and those already in leadership / management roles.
Don’t forget to get signed up for these excellent CLPL opportunities and continue to develop your knowledge and skills #FabFalkirkFolk!
