The linking learning SET CPD activity Benchmark Reflecting on evidence Self Evaluation Tools (SET)

The Linking Learning SET – connecting CPD with pupil learning The Eye diagram in the Linking Learning SET: is a graphic that links pupil and professional learning and helps support participants and CPD providers consider the impact of the CPD opportunity helps participants to gain clarity about needs and outcomes, foci for staff development and strategies that research suggests are likely to work considers impact in its widest sense – in terms of the needs of the school, the children and young people and the participant’s own professional development Back to homepage CPD activity

The Eye diagram – CPD activity (1) Ask the participants, either during or after the programme, to consider each aspect of the diagram and note their reflections next to each box diagram Next, ask the participants to compare their thoughts by discussing their responses in pairs. You could then ask each pair to share with the rest of the group how their perception about the potential impact of the CPD on young people has developed through the activity Back to homepage

The Linking Learning SET – Your evidence When considering the questions below, please refer to the evidence generated through the Eye diagram activity or other available evidence of participants’ relating CPD to their pupils and practice in relation to your CPD activity To what extent did the participants relate the CPD to their pupils and practice? How specific were they in identifying the needs and envisaging success for their individual pupils and their groups? How did the participants define their professional development needs in the light of considering their pupils’ experience of their practice? What support did the participants think they would require to embed and sustain the positive changes? Back to homepage Benchmark

The Linking Learning SET – Benchmarks After reflecting on your evidence look at the benchmark designed from the research evidence about effective CPD for this tool and benchmark – identify which descriptors most closely represent your provision. You might want to highlight them in e.g. different colour or font – briefly try to describe the reasons for your choice in the recording sheetrecording sheet – consider your next steps Back to homepage
