CraPD

It was as pointless as one feared!

We were asked to write a tag line for School Without Walls/5X5X5=Creativity as usual I thought of the perfect tag line after the event!

I should have gone with: Early Years Lite.

Training! What Training!


CPD – stands for continuous professional development – I refer to a recent e mail I have received. If you can find any professional development in it, I’ll be most impressed. (I apologise for the strange formatting but it was an e mail)

Subj: School Without Walls - CPD meeting Wed 8th October, the egg
Sharing our Glow Moments
Wed 8th October
4.15pm - 6.15pm (refreshments at 4pm)
the egg theatre
Hello all,
We look forward to welcoming all St Andrews' and St Michaels'
 teaching staff and Headteachers to the egg for a chance to reflect together on our individual Glow Moments of our School Without Walls experience.
We would like you all to bring in an object, quote, image which 
describes your SWW experience, or a moment in that experience for you which was 'illuminative and glows'.
We will be using this session to directly influence our meeting with 
the Right Hon. David Laws MP on 16th October, where a small group (including children from both St Michael's and St Andrew's) will have a short time with him to inspire him with our work and this holistic approach to learning.

I’m sorry but sharing ‘our glow moments’ really?  My ‘glow moments’?
OMFG as the young people say!
