Cross-Regional Professional Learning Programme CfW
Integrated Professional Learning Whilst the key focus of this professional learning programme is the realisation of the Curriculum for Wales 2022, it is essential that connections are made across all aspects of the education reform programme. This should include a consideration of the Schools as Learning Organisations (SLO) approach, the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership and our collective commitment to the Excellence, Equity and Wellbeing agenda. This professional learning offer is firmly aligned to the School Improvement Guidance: framework for evaluation, improvement and accountability published by Welsh Government in June 2022. The Headteacher, Senior Leader and Middle Leader programmes have been created and released to align with the timeline of Curriculum for Wales: the journey to curriculum roll-out.
A wide variety of modules available with sessions open to all practitioners in Wales.
