Launching CPD modules for Local Authorities
26 February 2010
The Association for Citizenship Teaching with DCSF have developed 30 free downloadable CPD modules. There are designed to be used by Local Authorities to support their teachers. The modules cover a range of topics highlighted by local authorities as areas where teachers need further CPD. They have been authored by experts in the field of citizenship and have also been evaluated by local authorities and regional subject advisors.
These will be launched online in May and we are having two launch events to correspond with this -
24th May at the British Library, London
26th May at New Century House, Manchester
The launch events will feature workshops on key areas within citizenship right now including Community Cohesion (including PVE), assessment, the new Primary Curriculum and Post-16 citizenship. The events will run from 9.30am (registration) to 4pm at each venue.
If you think you would like to attend one of these events please email Will Ross and he can send you further details.
