Rec 10: The Scottish Government and Education Scotland, working with specialists in Career Long Professional Learning, will develop learning resources to support HWB/PSE that are accessible to all teachers and school staff in Scotland.
Recommendation 15 – Ensure that the role of guidance/pupil support/pastoral care/career guidance teachers is recognised and promoted in the implementation of any new career pathways for teachers.
A number of consultations and discussions have taken place with The Scottish Guidance Association and The University of Aberdeen in order to co-design a professional learning offer for teachers, by teachers.
This is a responsive approach to meeting the needs of the profession and as a result, two professional learning programmes have been designed. Both programmes are currently being piloted by Local Authorities.
