Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
As a Newly Qualified Teacher setting out in my career I look forward to engaging will all stages of the professional development framework of COSÁN and most importantly engaging with the Teaching Councils induction programme of Droichead which will facilitate me in learning from and collaborating with members of the teaching community which will help strengthen my practice and make me a more reflective practitioner .
As part of my commitment to life long learning I will focus on gathering knowledge within my subject area of Art, Design and Craft. Developing new skills and ideas to enrich the creative curriculum. I look forward to developing skills in areas such as printmaking, textiles and digital design. CPD is a way to increase my skillsets and find new innovative ways to teach and I look forward to this enriching journey.
Moving forward I also aim to:
-
Become a Gaisce PAL.
-
Gain my Mountain Leader and Low Land Leader Awards.

Continue my Kayaking Skills Training to Instructor Level.
