  1. The CPD leader will be aware of all the tasks that the staff member will conduct/ complete as part of the course, as there will be a task to complete at the end of each session within the course. In the example below, there will be 8 tasks that the staff member will be able to share with the CPD Leader, following course completion.

 

  1. CPD leader will make available the Schoot course evaluation form for completion and discussion with the staff member following the course during a ‘Professional Development Review Meeting’.

Step 6

  1. CPD Leader and Staff Member to diarise a  ‘Professional Development Review Meeting’ to review the impact of the CPD training provided and invested in by the school and the staff member. The focus of these meetings will centre around:
  • A review of the tasks and activities completed by the staff member during training alongside a review of the ‘Schoot Training – Feedback Form for Schools’ completed by the staff member

 

  • A discussion to     help define how the training course/s attended and completed by the staff member will impact specifically on their practice. This to include a review of what staff members will change to ensure this happens, as well as an outline of further training, coaching, modelling or mentoring to be provided by leaders to ensure the agreed impact/ next steps to the staff member’s practice.

 

  • Staff member to bring along to the ‘Professional Development Review Meeting’: 
    1. Course tasks and completion certificate
    2. Updated / Individual CPD Plan including all up to date training 
    3. Ideas about what they wish to develop/change in their practice to improve outcomes for pupils.
