Lifelong Learning and CPD
The School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences offers a range of CPD and lifelong learning for teachers and speech and language therapists.
Making time for your own personal and professional development
Lifelong learning and professional learning are at the heart of what we do. We offer opportunities to engage in learning at different junctures and in different ways, within education and within speech and language therapy.
Teachers and educators
Making sense of your students' needs, helping them to make progress and to enjoy learning is essential. You also need the skills to reflect on how leadership and the organisation of the learning environment impact on these. We recognise the value of engaging in professional development opportunities that extend your practice.
Programmes
Meeting the needs of your learners and the demands made on the profession challenges you to be at the top of your game. Engaging in professional learning can fuel your own development. It helps you gain further insight, additional skills and knowledge. It supports you in your development as an extended reflected practitioner and leader.
Meeting your personal and professional development needs and the needs of our learners is a challenge we embrace. So, our programmes encourage you to push boundaries and to enrich your practice. We are developing provision to meet many different needs.
