  Founder/President

  A group of fellow students and I decided to found this society based on recommendations from the Donaldson Report. With such a focus on Career Long Professional Learning we believed that student level was a good time to begin looking at our own development and aiming to identify and aspiring to fill the gaps in our own knowledge. My role as President involves organising/running various CPD events for the members of the society and other students. Past events have included: A Teachmeet with a focus on Early YearsA Twitter for Teachers seminar. Organising groups to attend various other Teachmeets around the country. We have full support from the School of Education and The Faculty of Social Sciences. Show less

  Principal Teacher

  As a Middle Leader in a small Catholic Primary school my main role is to provide high quality learning and teaching for my class. I also have to show best practice and roll this out through the school. I have one morning out of class per week in order to fulfil my leadership roles. In the past these have revolved around delivering high quality learning and teaching using digital technologies and using outdoor learning to promote pupil wellbeing. More recently I have been promoting high quality learning and teaching across our school using evidence informed practice and leading staff in quality assurance. Show less
