This year we will be offering a core programme of Professional Learning for our supply teachers. The themes of these sessions are similar to those offered last academic session and attendance at all of these sessions apart from the Child Protection Update is at your discretion.

These sessions also offers an opportunity to discuss CLPL needs for the future and provides a chance to engage with other supply teachers in the area. All sessions will be held online from 4:15pm to 5:15pm.

Induction dates will be arranged for new supply teachers and it is hoped that these sessions will run on a termly basis.

Other mandatory training requirements:

SBLearn – Professional Learning (glowscotland.org.uk)

Child Protection Induction (applies to NEW employees to SBC)

Exploring the SBCWay launchpad will allow you to navigate through anything you will need to know with regards to Learning, Teaching, Assessment  and Inclusion in the Scottish Borders.

All education staff also have access to Schoolhouse within GLOW which is hosted by the Inspire team. Schoolhouse offers a range of digital support, hints, tips and online Professional Learning sessions.

Other CLPL Offers

Supply teachers will receive the weekly communication which is sent to all education staff which will highlight any new or upcoming training which is available. Your local school or school in which you provide most supply will also be happy for you to join them for CAT sessions and / or Inservice Days.

Inspire

All schools should now have 1:1  iPads  from P4 upwards which supply teachers can access when in school. You should be able to use a ‘shared ipad’  in school but should save any work into Glow, not  on the device itself. If you would like to further your knowledge on the Inspire programme, there are a number of Professional Learning sessions offered through Schoolhouse and the Apple Teacher Programme is also recommended.
