2013 Workshops and Courses
Plan your 2013 PLD now
Welcome to the Consortium for Professional Learning (CPL) and our 2013 South Island workshops and courses. This is a great time to plan and set budgets
for the new year so we are pleased to have these options available for early enrolments.
CPL is entering its third year of delivering effective professional learning and development (PLD) programmes to schools for the Ministry of Education. In
addition to this in-depth work, CPL supports teachers and school leaders through workshops and courses across the South Island. Local CPL facilitators will
team up to present highly relevant programmes that focus on improving student outcomes and increasing student agency.
Using current NZ research, the MoE guidelines and our knowledge of effective school practice, we are pleased to offer programmes that explicitly address
the challenges schools are experiencing now. The workshops and courses are subject to viability considerations and are offered on a first served basis.
