Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions

Join our CPD session around portfolios for teachers. Think fun, play, breaking rules, …! Let’s think about what universities and colleges like to see in a portfolio. What could you, as teachers, be doing with your Senior Phase pupils?

Session Aim: Provide you with key information around university portfolio requirements and leading you through a practical task/activity created by one of our Portfolio Prep Tutors.

Clackmannanshire - we contacted your local network lead multiple times but they didn't take up our offer so we're unfortunately not able to offer a CPD session in your area this year.

(Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, and the Scottish Borders had a session each in 2023)
