Subject to Change

Pearson Centre for Policy and Learning

 

Primary education is always a political hot potato. The new coalition government has already announced a swathe of measures aimed at improving teaching and learning in primary schools... This has disappointed some primary teachers, many of whom had enthusiastically embraced the Rose Review and, in some cases, already started to implement it in their schools. Many primary teachers are sceptical about what they see as a secondary model of subject-based teaching, tending instead towards a more integrated, cross-curricular approach.

Welcome to our CPD resources pages.

These pages share resources designed to support the continuing professional development (CPD) of teachers, advisors, consultants, youth workers and community leaders.

They are taken from a wide range of sources and include a mix of case studies, policy documents and learning/pedagogical approaches. Many are contributed by our membership. As with elsewhere on the website we will do our best to guide you to the most appropriate resources for your needs by using the key to the right to categorise entries. We will add to this key as new resources are added.

At present these resources are simply listed as added with the newest at the top, but as this bank grows we will introduce greater functionality to the pages to allow you more efficient access to what it is you are looking for.

If you have content you think should be on these pages or have any feedback as to how we could improve them then please contact us.

Happy browsing...
