Another first-rate post from Graham Attewell, this time reporting on research he has been doing with Jenny Hughes into models and practices in CPD for teachers in using technologies for teaching and learning. Areas covered:
- Peer learning / skill sharing
- Small group learning
- Informal learning more important than formal courses
- Clear links between CPD and practice
- A sound pedagogic base and reflexivity
- Leadership
- Working with newly qualified and trainee teachers
- Ownership of equipment
- Time useage a.k.a no time wasting
- Involvement of non-teaching staff
- Use of mentors or learning coaches
- Observation of practice
- Networks and communities of practice
- The use of E-portfolios as a tool in ICT CPD
Comment: in many respects this list could be applied to many workplace learning needs, and to many different roles.
