Professional learning

We are now accepting applications for the next national online course beginning in autumn 2018 for professionals returning to teaching or new to the Scottish Education System. Please contact professionallearning@ed.ac.uk with any questions.

We are delighted to offer a series of events in 2018 in conversation with distinguished individuals in education. Please sign up to join us!

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).

Embedding Learning for Sustainability in Scotland.

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.

This is an online professional learning course, running for ten weeks from January to March 2019.
