CPD
Effective CPD is what we do. If it’s not going to have an impact on standards and be possible for staff to implement, it’s probably not worth doing. Making sure you have effective teaching and learning taking place that’s founded in the goals, interests and needs of your pupils is key if you want to reap the benefits of edtech. Work with Mark Anderson to make it work in your school.
