Self-directed professional learning
In this section you will find engaging self-directed professional learning activities created by Education Scotland and other recognised organisations. To access these, you will need to create a log in but doing so allows you to set up your professional learning activity playlist for learning, track your progress through a professional learning activity and download your responses to reflective questions for your professional learning records.
Our open access learning pages on coaching in education, enquiry in education and collaboration in education support our vision of educators as lifelong learners within a thriving Scottish professional learning community.
In addition, you can view our curated collection of video resources and hear from educators about their professional learning experiences through our professional learning blog and access a growing number of podcasts on a variety of topics.
You'll also find here dedicated learning resources for early career teachers, for pupil support staff and for headteachers.
