About this event

The EPD webinar will provide EPD1 and EPD2 teachers with updates on the key principles and practices of the EPD process as well as linking to a career long pathway of Teacher Professional Learning (TPL).  They will revisit the elements required to complete EPD and consider the skills of a reflective practitioner in line with the vision of the Learning Leaders strategy.  The session will be an opportunity to begin to build collaborative networks to support and develop their practice and learn from other colleagues. 

Webinar Objectives

• Consolidate ECT knowledge and understanding of the requirements of EPD within the context of lifelong learning, the GTCNI competences and Learning Leaders.
