Continuing Professional Development in the Lifelong Learning Sector by Peter Scales
The book emphasises the importance of teachers as professional individuals who are responsible for their own CPD. It also helps senior managers to create a positive environment and 'learning organisation' in which teaching and learning can flourish.
The book sets the context for CPD and:
- Offers an understanding of the CPD process and the need for undertaking reflective practice
- Meets the needs of new teachers, trainers and tutors in the sector
- Considers CPD for teaching and learning and subject-specific CPD
- Provides an introduction to action research and case studies of research into teaching and learning in the sector
