We had another meeting of the Chartered Teacher network on 25 September.  This was an opportunity for all CTs plus anyone in East Lothian interested in pursuing CT to come along to share practice and get a chance to ask questions and get some  much needed support for those in a similar position.

The attendance was a little disapointing and there was discussion about how we encourage more staff to attend this and ensure they get value from it.  You’ll see from section 1 in the minutes there’s a few suggestions but basically there are a few questions:

• is twilight the best time?
• could we identify a Friday afternoon that wasn’t be used for a CAT/CPD session - would this be better?
• What format should we consider - a big group meeting, group members sorted into modules to support each other through these, a CT conference, a cluster working model for CTs.  Any other suggestions welcome!

I will be emailing out to the group but please post any comments or suggestions here as well.  Once I get a response I will send out with a further date for the meeting(s)!

On Being Professional

It’s a shame that a few people missed the meeting last time, so I’m posting this twice onto the web and will also send out another reminder!  The next meeting of the Chartered Teachers network will take place on 25 Sep from 4.30 - 6 in the large meeting room in John Muir House.

 I’ve also attached notes from the last meeting that we had if anyone has any comments.

 Look forward to seeing you all there.

Chartered Teacher Conference Registration

Here is the flyer for the CT conference (at long last). If you’re interested please complete and return to the university.  This is a free event and the programme looks great.  Certainly in line with what this blog has been trying to do - bring people together, share practice and look at the role of the CT within schools and how this fits within the authority.

Remember that East Lothian Chartered Teacher’s are meeting in the Marriage Conference Room in John Muir House Tuesday 24th April 4.30 - 6.00.

In the resources section under ‘reading for module 1′ there are a couple of reading lists.  If people could suggest which titles would be most useful I’d be happy to look at investing some of the staff development money on these resources to be kept within the Professional Development Library (formerly known as the SQH library!) in Prestonpans Education Centre.

If I could have some suggestions before the summer that would be great.
