Your mobile evidence portfolio

It’s September and it’s time to return back to school or college, after what has been a long, hot summer! I still can’t believe that we’ve had probably one of the hottest summers on record and hopefully, the break has left you feeling rested and ready to get back to the business of teaching.

With the start of a new term comes the process of target settings for staff reviews and you need to start to think about how you’re going to record your evidence, ready to demonstrate how you more than meet the standard.

To help you with this task, we’ve developed a handy mobile app which will let you blog about your experiences and use the camera on the device to take photographs and video your professional development evidence.
