Support Sessions

Professional Update Support Sessions

February 10, 2015 Mr Murphy Leave a comment

Notification of future Hub meetings

Abi Adam and myself have arranged further support sessions for staff who are engaging directly with PU in the GTC sign off year 2014-15 (registration years ending in 9and 4) and associated line managers in response to frequently asked questions. These relate particularly to using the standards to self-evaluate and how to manage what is considered useful and appropriate in support of recording professional learning and its impact.

The sessions have been arranged as follows, split into two parts due to the nature of queries. The first part is for reviewees (unpromoted staff) and the second half for reviewers. (Of course reviewers will also be reviewees so there will be a common element to both parts).

The sessions will take place as follows and venues will be confirmed soon:

HUB 1	Wed 18 March	Reviewees 4pm Reviewers 4.45pm
HUB 2	Tues 24 March	Reviewees 4pm Reviewers 4.45pm
HUB 3	Wed 1 April	Reviewees 4pm Reviewers 4.45pm

Please forward any questions or areas you would like addressed at your session to abi.adam@westlothian.org.uk by 27 February.

Attending CPD Courses – Reminder

February 3, 2015 Mr Murphy Leave a comment

If staff book a course through the EMS system and are then unable to attend, the CPD staff should be alerted. Many courses are fully booked in advance and this will allow the place to be offered to those who are on the reserve list.

Please do not attend a course if a place hasn’t been booked through the EMS system. Venues are organised by tutors and materials prepared to cater for the expected number of delegates.

Please contact cpd@westlothian.org.uk if you require any further information.
