This programme is aimed at all who
have qualified teacher status (QTS) or equivalent (to be negotiated
with the CPD Programme Manager) and teach within the curriculum
framework for PSHE, for example science, religious education or
humanities teachers, form tutors and PSHE specialists.
There is also a CPD Programme for School Nurses.
It is particularly useful for teachers or school nuses who want to develop their
confidence and effectiveness in delivering PSHE. The programme is
equally relevant for colleagues in primary, middle or secondary
schools, pupil referral units (PRUs) or special schools. As a teacher, it would
be most beneficial to you after your first few years of teaching,
when you could use it as part of your development objectives and
an application for DfES Threshold Assessment.
If you are more experienced it could be used to support your application
for Advanced Skills Teacher (AST) status, or you could cite the
qualification as part of an application for the National Qualification
for Headship (NPQH). You could also use it to extend your expertise
prior to applying for a coordinator's post, or if already
a coordinator, you could use it as a framework for improvement.
Your evidence of CPD and the focus on PSHE, SRE and drug education
could also form part of your school's submission to the local
healthy schools programme, demonstrating the achievement of key
criteria contributing to recognition of success as a healthy school.
We currently have 4 accredited teachers and 4 more working towards
certification.
If you would like to register your interest in the certification
course and would like to be considered for the next intake of teachers
