  9. Teacher’s unsolicited responses • The CPD programme was really informative and gave me some excellent ideas on how to approach the teaching of the Holocaust next year. Thank you • I wanted to take the time to thank you for the wonderful CPD session you delivered in xxxx today. It was incredibly thought-provoking and educational, I learnt a great deal and the session has inspired me to research more about the Holocaust and given me the impetus and tools to evaluate my own and the departments teaching of the Holocaust and seek to incorporate the ideas and resources you shared with us.

  10. The programme follows a cycle of research informed practice and evaluation which ensures that the CPD and the teaching and learning resources remain responsive to the needs of teachers and students.
