Continuing Professional Development
Experience shows that all
teachers who are preparing to link benefit from time to consider
not only the logistics but also the issues around the Linking
process.
The SLN believes that it is essential for
teachers to take this time. If linking is to be more than simply a
superficial exercise with some nice activities, it will be
challenging, and should involve reflection on the part of teachers
as well as students. Successful linking looks deceptively simple,
but careful preparation is needed if it is to make a real
impact.
For teachers as well as for students, the
linking process is a Learning Journey which involves looking
honestly at ourselves and our perceptions of others.
Schools Linking Network offers one day of
continuing Professional Development to schools who are either
already linking or who are considering setting up a link. As part
of the day will include planning, you will need to come with your
linking partner. To book a place, please download complete the form
