“I enjoyed training to become a Learning Representative and finding out about opportunities open to EIS members in relation to their Continual Professional Development. I am now looking forward to sharing this information by giving advice and supporting my colleagues in planning their own future career.”

“My focus as a Learning Representative is on supporting teachers to allow them to gain access to high quality CPD opportunities. These CPD opportunities can involve formal courses leading to Chartered Teacher status or dealing with the award of SQH. I encourage teachers to take a responsibility for their own CPD.”
