The department of Childhood, Education and Professional Development within the School of Education is delighted to announce a series of free CPD sessions throughout the academic year. We're proud of our provision in how it supports students and the education workforce with their strategic priorities, individual career aspirations and personal development.

"We strive to make a difference to children, families and society through education."

Our online sessions provide the valuable opportunity to gain knowledge and insights from our teaching staff (who are experts in their fields; with extensive workplace, research and management-based experience) and to collaborate with your peers, expand your network and share your own expertise. These one-hour sessions are designed to be developmental yet informal, so grab a coffee and join us from the comfort of your own home - or workplace - and tune in. We hope to see you there!

Please use the links below to sign up and find out more about each session - we have now added more sessions in the New Year.
