My family may be going hungry after tonight's #UKEdChat external

Creativeedu 19:59
CPD is fab really :-)
@Joga5 Even if that means sharing INSET days, and guest speakers
colport 20:00
#ukedchat
mattpearson 20:00 #ukedchat yes they should where appropriate and where the in-
school session provides something an external course can't give.
they can't afford not to RT @Joga5 #ukedchat "Should schools be
missbrownsword 20:00 seeking to promote collaborative in-school CPD instead of external
courses?â€•
@Joga5 I think groups of schools should collaborate to share CPD?
colport 20:00
#ukedchat
missbrownsword 20:01
we had inset yesterday with 2 other schools attending #ukedchat
Good CPD should be evidence based â€“ the teacher as researcher
CliveBuckley 20:01
@headteacher #ukedchat
RT @colport: @Joga5 I think groups of schools should collaborate to
CHAR0ULA 20:01
share CPD? #ukedchat
Natty08 20:01 In Scotland the best CPD I had was called open doors. Where ppl
who where good at something shared good pratice. TBC #ukedchat
headteacher01 20:01 #ukedchat working as a professional on school based action

research, and reflecting on the impact along with colleagues
@colport #ukedchat agreed - next 2 insets are with a feeder school
philallman1 20:01
and a partner school.
should we not be starting with what the teachers as learners needs
Catriona_O 20:01
are? #ukedchat?
#UKEdchat Ok, I'm a head (hypothetically) have no money, don't
didactylos 20:01 want my staff to ever miss a class..... convince me can still do
quality CPD
CPD â€“ where possible should carry accreditation (university?)
CliveBuckley 20:01
#ukedchat
@colport share as in costs to arrange or share as in expertise to
didactylos 20:02
deliver? #UKEdchat
@philallman1 This is what I mean by discussing INSET dates with
colport 20:02
eachother before setting the dates. #ukedchat
#ukedchat is collaborative CPD inschool about coming up with
mattpearson 20:02 specific solutions for issues, rather thn attending a course wth set
objectives
You could choose where to go and what you thought you needed
Natty08 20:02 development on. This was a Â£ reason but worked REALLY well!
#ukedchat
happy new year and all that. As for CPD, best moments are often
john_at_muuua 20:02 the chance to talk to other teachers, not just the presenter.
#ukedchat
philallman1 20:03 #ukedchat the greatest expertise is generally in a school. We get

people from outside when it meets a clear need for many.

CliveBuckley 20:03 Should teaching be all masters level profession? #ukedchat
#ukedchat My little CPD Pocketbook (Teachers' Pocketbooks, 2006)
SusanElkinJourn 20:03 helpfully (I hope!) sets out ways of learning other then external
courses.
@didactylos Both....costs are going to be more crucial as budgets
colport 20:03
are stretched #ukedchat
islayian 20:03 RT @Catriona_O: should we not be starting with what the teachers
as learners needs are? #ukedchat? .. .Who defines those needs?
RT @didactylos: @colport share as in costs to arrange or share as in
TheHeadsOffice 20:03
expertise to deliver? #UKEdchat >Both!
collaborative research between colleagues from different schools
headteacher01 20:03
on a similar theme
rantingteacher 20:03 #ukedchat We have had NO money to send the likes of me on any
training courses for at least 3 years; my only CPD is in-house.
dughall 20:03 #ukedchat I know of many schools local to me that are so small that
they *have* to collaborate for external CPD just to afford it.
RT @didactylos: #UKEdchat CPD needs to square the circle of whole
Creativeedu 20:04
organisation needs and personal learning styles
RT @CliveBuckley: CPD â€“ where possible should carry
islayian 20:04 accreditation (university?) #ukedchat .. Accredition to what
standard? How do you change
john_at_muuua 20:04 jolly tired of poor CPD. Had half a day on 'gang culture', from some
really interesting guys, but really it only needed 30 mins. #ukedchat
cleverfiend 20:04 Notts special schoosl did collective CPD together, complete disaster -
courses not relevant to many - how to meet all needs? #ukedchat
collaborating is great but is there a danger that noone wants to
Creativeedu 20:04
collaborate with less good schools? #UKEdChat
RT @CliveBuckley: Should teaching be all masters level profession?
philallman1 20:04
#ukedchat< no - quals do not = effective CPD
#UKEdchat CPD needs to square the circle of whole organisation
didactylos 20:04
needs and personal learning styles
CPD has to be seen as valuable rather than filling 5 days without the
children! #ukedchat
dughall 20:04 @john_at_muuua I agree! It is often the gaps between the

CPD/training where much of the great learning happens. #ukedchat
SexEdUKation 20:05 #ukedchat as LEA's are cutting subject leads like me (sob) then free
CPD from LEA in school is going to become much rarer.
@Creativeedu 'Forced' collaboration in the form of soft federations
can cause probs. #ukedchat
@CliveBuckley Does a M.Ed make you a better teacher? I don't
cleverfiend 20:05 want to do a masters (I hate reading research papers) Is that
wrong? #ukedchat
Page 2 of 50
SusanElkinJourn 20:05 @CliveBuckley #ukedchat No. Some of the best teachers I worked
with years ago weren't even graduates. You can't generalise.
Creativeedu 20:05 @cleverfiend special schools may be a special example though as

they are all SO different to each other? #UKEdChat
CliveBuckley 20:05 RT @CliveBuckley: @philallman - agree - CPD should be effective

â€“ demonstratable by changes in practice #ukedchat
Catriona_O 20:05 @islayian teachers' as learners' needs I said :-) #ukedchat
RT @john_at_muuua: As for CPD, best moments are often the
ZoeRoss19 20:05 chance to talk to other teachers, not just the presenter. #ukedchat
<definitely!
Our school pyramid all shared INSET this wk. Have been observed
BucksPeasant 20:06 by first school teachers & will get to watch them nxt term
#ukedchat
@Creativeedu In some ways SEN schools are different. I've run
cleverfiend 20:06 coaching sessions in other schools so it can work. Needs planning
#ukedchat
rachelala 20:06 schs don't have to stick to 5 CPD days, can negotiate eg 2 day in 10
one hour post-school sessions to promote collab #ukedchat
Schools need to identify what they are good at & be proud enough
to share it #ukedchat
#ukedchat - had pyramid INSET yesterday with @chrisquigley
ForesterJo 20:06 thought provoking allowed schools to look at own practice think
about next steps
trouble with lots of CPD is its not time sensitive - people learn best
didactylos 20:06 when they have perceived need, not when decided for them
#UKEdchat
#UKedchat CPD We seem to something thats done to you? What
islayian 20:06
about identifiying your own CPD and doing it?
@CreativeEdu got 2 get out of the collaborating with schools idea.
john_at_muuua 20:06 even less good schools have good teachers teachers collaborate
#ukedchat
@Joga5 I think both, we work as a pyramid so schools have similar
needs but also cost was mentioned #ukedchat
TheHeadsOffice 20:06 RT @Creativeedu: RT @didactylos: #UKEdchat CPD needs to square

the circle of whole organisation needs and personal learning styles
dughall 20:06 #ukedchat I think there may be a role for external parties (LAs?)
who know schools and where expertise is to broker collaborations.
RT @TheHeadsOffice: CPD has to be seen as valuable rather than
SusanElkinJourn 20:06

RT @didactylos: trouble with lots of CPD is its not time sensitive -
john_at_muuua 20:07 people learn best when they have perceived need, not when

@sdisbury but SDP should be based on improving outcomes in
philallman1 20:07
classroom! #ukedchat
mwclarkson_pub 20:07
I feel guilty asking for time out for CPD. Am I alone? #ukedchat
didactylos 20:07 @islayian indeedy, we now have the tools to do this much more
than ever before, do we have the belief though? #UKEdchat
When considering the value of CPD we should think less about Â£s
Creativeedu 20:07 in and more about outputs. If it's free but crap you're losing?
#UKEdChat
rantingteacher 20:07 @Joga5 we have an inset day. We all listen to the same speakers.
We quite often despair. Occasionally we're inspired. #ukedchat
RT @sdisbury: Too much CPD is school development plan led
Catriona_O 20:07 instead of specific to needs and wants of individual teachers?
#ukedchat
cpd should be about the development of staff which has an impact
headteacher01 20:07 on the learning of pupils - how often are courses a nice day ou!?
#ukedchat
SusanElkinJourn 20:07 @cleverfiend @CliveBuckley #ukedchat No, not wrong, Don't do it.
Or do it in something you love. Mine was in Victorian poetry!
philallman1 20:07 RT @dughall: #ukedchat I think thr may B a role 4 external parties
(LAs?) is 2 broker collaborations.<commisioning only role 4 LAs now
sdisbury 20:07 Too much CPD is school development plan led instead of specific to
needs and wants of individual teachers? #ukedchat
philallman1 20:08 My daily life is a CPD experience! #ukedchat
@philallman1 Maybe, but I think LAs can have a wider role if they
dughall 20:08 have quality, expert people who can help drive school imprvmnt
#ukedchat
@colport danger is they end up spending more on rubbish - no
didactylos 20:08
central direction or care at all now #UKEdchat
@CliveBuckley #ukedchat and whose defintion of 'improve' do we
islayian 20:08
follow? Gov? LEA? HT? Pupils?
me too, I'm out twice next week RT @mwclarkson: I feel guilty

@cleverfiend It also needs a VERY skilled and experienced
Creativeedu 20:08
facilitator. #UKEdChat
ForesterJo 20:08 @cleverfiend #ukedchat I do not want to masters level either but
am keen to develop forest school practice and extend training
CliveBuckley 20:08
@SusanElkinJourn But if pedagogy is your interest? #Ukedchat
@colport though conversely schools could, in theory have bigger
didactylos 20:08
say in what they spend their budgets on #UKEdchat
ZoeAndrewsAST 20:09 #ukedchat a lot of effective CPD can come from skills already held in
school. Also promotes more opportunities for collaborative work.
Sorry I'm a bit late for #ukedchat - hope I haven't missed too much
bevevans22 20:09
:)
there has been quite a push on CPD at my school recently because
we're closing #ukedchat
RT @CliveBuckley: @islayian Your own definition - your own
CliveBuckley 20:09
achievements #ukedchat
mwclarkson_pub 20:09 For whole school CPD I usually end up leading a session. This is
great, and I really enjoy it - but I miss out others' sessions #ukedchat
Prev school did Improvement plan led CPD. Effectively twilight
BucksPeasant 20:09 INSET every 2 weeks. Not enough time to consolidate anything
useful #ukedchat
@mwclarkson Always - feel bad taking time off when you're sick
sdisbury 20:09
too? Sometimes it's necessary. #ukedchat
@Caro_lann #ukedchat Yes, yes. yes. And don't forget learning from
each other on the job & from students.
important to link up with schools wider than from own LA - making
headteacher01 20:09
cpd links with 'next practice' schools #ukedchat
@didactylos From the sign of things, that looks like the future
colport 20:09
though :-( #ukedchat
does anyone object to me quoting some of these ideas? This is what
john_at_muuua 20:09
CPD needs to be defined as #ukedchat
rantingteacher 20:09 #ukedchat Last Inset day was on differentiation for the entire staff.
It wasn't differentiated. We mostly felt patronised.
RT @didactylos: @islayian indeedy, we now have the tools to do
islayian 20:09 this much more than ever before, do we have the belief though?
#UKEdchat.. No
dughall 20:09 @TheHeadsOffice Totally agree re 'boys club' #ukedchat
RT @islayian: #UKedchat CPD We seem to something thats done to
TheHeadsOffice 20:09 you? What about identifiying your own CPD and doing it? >Key.
Mindset change
rachelala 20:09 so important to understand the follow-up whether internal or

external CPD, how to ensure it has an impact on practice #ukedchat

and long sessions and uses learning platform #ukedchat

Janshs 20:10
how to motivate? #ukedchat
Most tchrsI know don't read the TES, watch teachers tv and think
cleverfiend 20:10 Twitter is for twits. How do you improve their desire to improve?

ForesterJo 20:11 @Caro_lann #ukedchat would agree with Twitter CPD - practice
moved on more in last 6 months and in using ICT because of it
@CliveBuckley #ukedchat and what about those 'standards' and
islayian 20:11
'improvement'?
My school has a budget of around Â£200 per teacher per year. How
informed_edu 20:12
does that compare? #ukedchat

Changes to CPD made today at school: teachers released in grps of

#ukedchat
@ZoeAndrewsAST #ukedchat Learned more from older, more
SusanElkinJourn 20:12 experienced teachers in my first job than in 3 years in college. CPD
in action.
#ukedchat Good example is our january INSET, run by teaching staff
ZoeAndrewsAST 20:12 sharing good practice from different areas e.g. AfL, data use,
motivation
didactylos 20:12 #UKEdchat if we had 20% of our time for CPD/development in the
Google model how much better could our schools become?
@didactylos but noone will die on my desk #ukedchat - except me
philallman1 20:12
perhaps ;)
mattpearson 20:12 #ukedchat there could be a danger that sole focus on inschool CPD
breaks the link with wider theory and development. . .
This is collaborative CPD in practice. How do we share THIS with
Creativeedu 20:12
our offline colleagues? #UKEdChat
How do I have a column on twitter for #ukedchat? Tweetdeck is not
working!!
RT @Joga5:One approach is 2 send sum1 on external CPD but then
philallman1 20:13 expect dissemination of the gd practice as a result #ukedchat<
doesn't happen
asober 20:13 @mattpearson I agree! I think it is very valuable that teachers go

out and see beyond their smaller world #ukedchat
didactylos 20:13 @philallman1 physically no, but life chances? My GP mainly deals
with non life threatening stuff yet still has massive CPD #UKEdchat
john_at_muuua 20:13 @cleverfiend why? TES is for jobs, teachers TV is gonna close and
twitter is a fad? Is this our only alternative? #ukedchat
@ZoeAndrewsAST @john_at_muuua Need to use the skills of
bluemoonjules 20:13 teachers who have backgrounds in other industries/professions too
#ukedchat
How many have dedicated PPA time scheduled? We never know
mwclarkson_pub 20:13 which frees might be hit by cover - makes it harder to plan for CPD

some HTs get that some people are motivated to do their own CPD.
I do love twitter, but I think calling it the best CPD tool ever is
