Professional learning

Our next national online course for professionals returning to teaching or new to the Scottish Education System begins in January 2019. This course is currently full, but please apply if you would like to be added to the waiting list and we will contact you if a place becomes available. We will be running the course again in April 2019 (dates to be confirmed). Please contact professionallearning@ed.ac.uk with any questions.

Please find our courses below to support teachers' leadership of learning across sectors. These courses will be familiar to some since they were run previously through our Scottish Centre for Studies in School Administration (SCSSA).

We are delighted to announce our new partnership with the Barça Innovation Hub – Universitas to offer a wide range of online courses which benefit anyone interested in improved performance, leadership and management in sport.

Please find our courses below which support teachers to develop children's computational skills, including coding and digital literacy.

This professional development course for those working in early education considers how a contemporary analysis of Froebel’s work can provide practitioners with insights into how they can support young children to develop as confident learners. Participants will learn about Froebelian approaches including gifts, play, and relationships in learning contexts. Participants will be encouraged and challenged to consider how this can enhance their professional practice.

We are delighted to offer a series of events in conversation with distinguished individuals in education. Please sign up to join us!

This is an online professional learning course, with ten weeks of a taught online programme from January to March 2019 and the final assessment due in April 2019.
