Curriculum for Wales Professional Learning Offer
Offering an evidence informed and reflective professional learning programme which ensures equity of access to all practitioners across Wales in order to realise the Curriculum for Wales
Professional learning will be central to ensuring that all school staff have the professional knowledge and skills to deliver on the education reforms that are well underway in Wales. Regional and partnership teams work collaboratively to plan and deliver coherent professional learning programmes across Wales.
To support all schools and settings across Wales in realising the Curriculum for Wales, a comprehensive professional learning programme has been developed by the cross regional Professional Learning team. This evidence-based offer integrates all elements of the wider reform and supports all practitioners with sessions for leaders, teachers, teaching assistants and governors.
The sessions include a blend of theory and practical examples from schools and settings from around Wales. Furthermore, many sessions throughout the Summer term 2023 will offer schools an opportunity for discussions with fellow school colleagues from across Wales.
Recorded Sessions (2023/24)
Each session from the Curriculum for Wales Professional Learning Programme is being recorded for access after the session. You are also able to download the PowerPoint slides below. We would ask you to record your attendance, to help us to understand who is accessing the materials across Wales.
