  4. CPD Requirements In order to maintain their professional status, all educators must: • Register with and join a professional body, e.g. the Institute for Learning http://www.ifl.ac.uk • Complete minimum of 30 hours CPD a year, if work full time • Complete pro rata CPD, with minimum requirement of 6 hours, if work part-time • Maintain a record and reflective account of their CPD and submit CPD record by Aug 31st each year. This can be completed online via CPD self-declaration form on the IfL website.

  5. CPD requirements Employers are expected to support their staff with their professional development. As a manager you may be responsible for CPD across a team or the whole organisation. How can you ensure staff have the best possible CPD experience? How can you ensure that staff CPD addresses your organisational priorities?

  7. 1. Challenges of coordinating CPD programme.

  8. 2. Ensuring CPD programmes support organisations’ priorities.

  9. Identifying priorities Priorities may have been identified through: • OfSTED inspection • Internal audit • Requirements for organisational efficiency • Staff are encouraged to develop a personal plan which is matched against their organisational context and development plan. • The CPD theme on the Excellence Gateway has been developed to summarise relevant tools and resources.

  10. The Institute for Learning's model of dual professionalism • The model of dual professionalism categorises development needs under the following headings: • Learning and teaching • Subject specialism or • Policy context • The Excellence Gateway can support managers in planning their CPD programmes to ensure they meet organisational needs in each area.

  11. Activity 3: Exploring tools and resources • In small groups, look at Handouts A and B • The handouts direct you to sections of the Gateway which focus on specific tools to support CPD • Each group explores and discusses the resources • Make some summary notes on your handout to feedback to the rest of the group.
