e-Learning
We understand the importance of continuing professional development (CPD) in supporting you to be able to better support the children. We also understand that attending training can sometime be difficult so we have bought in to a brand new suite of online learning packages.
The CPD Library is a new set of staff development courses created by an expert team of practitioners and researchers. The courses can be used offline on mobile phones and tablets, offering engaging learning and remote monitoring.
We have a range of courses and below you will see them grouped by professional type. If you are a Designated Teacher, you will have been sent your log on details but please do contact us if you have not got this. If you are a governor, social worker or foster carer, please contact us on virtualschooladmin@gloucestershire.gov.uk . Once you have your log in details, please access the modules from the link on the right.
