Back to school:2008

Welcome to the National Strategies Continuing Professional Development (CPD) environment. This site is designed to support the work of the National Strategies by providing an online learning environment for Regional Advisers, Local Authority Strategy Teams, teachers, practitioners and School Management Teams.

This site is open for anyone to explore, but there are some learning activities which require registration. Registration only takes a few seconds and allows you to fully engage with all the features of the site, as well as keep track of your own CPD.

Some programme areas will require an enrolment key, which will normally be sent out to people with joining instructions. If you believe you should have access to a particular area and do not have the key, please contact the named person who is administering that area.

We hope you find this site useful and a valuable contribution to your professional development.
