SCILT and IOP online - Future directions for subject-specific professional learning for teachers: opportunities and benefits

Join us for an interactive online session about the opportunities, benefits and issues around subject-specific professional learning (SSPL) and explore how they might be improved across the curriculum.

Dr Stuart Farmer, Learning and Skills Manager at the Institute of Physics (IOP), and Fhiona Mackay, Director at Scotland’s National Centre for Languages (SCILT), will discuss key points from the Subjects Matter reports for the UK and Scotland, which look at subject-specific continuing professional development (CPD) for teachers and draw on a wide range of evidence from England, Scotland and Wales. We’ll then invite you to share your ideas on this with fellow practitioners.
