On The Couch:  Perspectives on enhancing practice & motivation through professional development & learning.

This edition of On The Couch has educationalists with an interest in professional development and learning.

They share their expertise and thoughts around how continued and regular engagement with professional development and learning can have a significant impact upon a teacher's practice as well as their motivation and morale.

Professional development comes in many forms yet often teachers are unable to access development that is useful, appropriate or relevant for them.  There are barriers around cost and release time as we all know.  Yet, regular engagement in such activities can be transformational.

The panel also offers an insight into how you, as a teacher, can manage your own professional development and access opportunities that are affordable, accessible and actionable.

Our panel of education experts offer advice and  respond to questions. All masterfully chaired by Dr Virginia Bower.

This is an ideal webinar for all working in educational settings, especially teachers who wish to develop their career further.

What's more it is FREE!!!!
