A 2-day residential course based at SSERC HQ to support probationer teachers in Technology to deliver safe, high quality, hands-on practical STEM learning in the workshop. There will be coverage across a range of technology curriculum organisers allowing delegates to develop their skills in and out of their subject specialism.
This programme offers an excellent way of keeping up to date with developments in your subject area. The residential aspect of the course offers a great networking and peer engagement aspect for delegates, creating opportunities to build new working relationships with other probationer teachers across the range of schools and local authorities in Scotland.
The course is aligned to the GTCS Standards for Full Registration and the National Model for Professional Learning.
