Professional Learning

The SDS Education team has created a range of Career-long Professional Learning (CLPL) resources to support practitioners with their understanding of meta-skills.   

Using a blend of elearning modules, online workshops and face-to-face workshops practitioners will: 

• Gain knowledge on the key drivers and policies behind embedding skills across the curriculum. 
• Be provided with opportunities to reflect on current practice,  
• Identify the next steps that need to be taken 
• Be offered suggestions on how to take forward the embedding of meta-skills in a manageable and sustainable way. 

Descriptions and links to introductory videos of the modules and workshops we currently have available are provided below.   

Embedding skills - This workshop considers why skills development is so important and looks at some of the challenges and practical approaches to making skills more visible, building a common skills language, and sustainably embedding skills across the curriculum.  

Skills profiling using My World of Work - This workshop explores how MyWoW can support a consistent and continuous approach to skills profiling that helps learners identify, articulate and capture their skills. It introduces meta-skills as a possible common skills framework and the MyWoW tools and resources that support this; including the MyWoW skills profile which travels with the learner on their journey through and beyond school.
