Our CPD’s support creative approaches at the heart of your practice. Each session is designed to build on your creative practice as a teacher, giving you new insights, expanding your skill base and giving you extra tools and confidence. Focused on the teacher/ student relationship, these CPD SkillShares aim to support you to plan and deliver exciting and imaginative lessons whether working remotely or in person. Each session is designed to be an open, collaborative space, where everyone is welcome and valued. All our CPD’s will remain free during this time.
