How Does it Work?

You take part in a PPD activity, for example, course, conference, school focused development project.
You indertake the work in your school/setting linked to this PPD activity
You produce a portfolio of accrediation evidence

The portfolio is based on three elements:

Reationale for the activity
Development of practice which may include presentations to staff/governors, curriculum audit, small scale research project with staff/pupils, scheme of work, new curriculum materials and resources
Impact of development on teaching and learning

Succeessful completion gives you 30 credits at Level 3 and a Certificate of Professional Development

If you are interested in pursuing postgraduate accreditation, this module can also be counted as 20 credits or one module at Masters Degree level
