For the first time, Professional Learning resources have been centralised in one place on Hwb. The freshly categorised and classified resources are now readily searchable and accessible to all education practitioners across Wales via the professional learning area.
The professional learning area has been organised to help practitioners find the right resources to meet their professional learning needs, whatever those needs may be.
Within the area, practitioners will find a wide breadth of training, self-guided learning, case studies, guidance, and research on all aspects of professional learning.
These videos demonstrate how easy it now is to access Professional Learning resources on Hwb.
The resources cover 4 broad areas: curriculum, pedagogy and assessment; leadership and governance; well-being, equity and inclusion; and developing as a professional.
Practitioners can filter the resources within these categories or search for resources using keywords.
A practitioner working party was convened to assure quality during the process, and several other groups are still providing feedback. The PL area is a work in progress and feedback can be left by anyone accessing the page. Your feedback will help us improve it.
Deputy Headteacher, Sian Evans has been part of the practitioner working party. She says:
‘I have been a part of the practitioner reference group who have been working on this area, to bring together the range of different professional learning opportunities into one really easy to navigate space. We wanted this to be an area that everybody, all types of practitioners at all levels within schools could access and find professional learning that was relevant to them and we wanted to be able to do this in as few clicks of the mouse as possible!
‘What’s coming through very clearly now is that staff are finding that it’s a positive experience to be using Hwb to search for professional learning. They feel that they can now use that very limited time they have to best effect to find relevant professional learning.’
