Free Resources for
Delivering CPD in School
Teachers TV has launched a new area on its website,
specifically devoted to CPD. It includes free resources for
anyone with responsibility for delivering CPD in schools,
including ready-made presentations on a broad range of
topics. The presentations incorporate clips from Teachers TV
programmes. Whilst some of the topics covered are specific
to English education polices and programmes, others are more
generic, such as behaviour management, and would be suitable
for use in Scottish schools.
