The iP Suite Customer Newsletter – November 2022

Schools and colleges exhaust vast amounts of time, money, and resources on professional development, sometimes without the ability to reflect on its success and the impact it has had on staff, outcomes for pupils, and the overall quality of teaching.

Most establishments have a paper-based portfolio of evidence used to record staff development, which houses things like certificates from courses and other evidential information.

These portfolios tend to be hard-copy and are not accessible or transparent to the wider leadership.

The process of applying for CPD opportunities also tends to be a paperchase and it’s difficult to keep track of which staff have attended which courses or activities and what has been the impact of any training.

Using a tool like SchooliP (CollegeiP for Further Education) takes all of the hassles out of this process and provides the transparency needed to gain efficiencies in staff professional development outcomes and aids in the reporting to key stakeholders – like the governing body.
