Whether you are developing your own teaching practice, guiding curriculum development or supporting the professional growth of other educators, the Academy helps you pursue professional learning relevant to your role and early childhood setting.
At the ICT in Education Teacher Academy, Theory into Practice is at the heart of every online workshop. Our workshops help you connect evidence-informed teaching strategies with your everyday classroom practice, building on your existing knowledge, experience and confidence with digital technology.
Turn professional learning into meaningful classroom improvement. Explore practical ideas, try them with your learners, reflect on what works and discover opportunities to develop your teaching further. This is CPD in your classroom – professional learning that becomes part of your everyday teaching, rather than something separate from it.
Your Membership Workbook helps you turn classroom experiences into opportunities for continuing professional growth. Building on the Academy's Theory into Practice approach, it supports you in setting your own CPD goals, connecting professional knowledge with everyday teaching and critically reflecting on how digital technology supports your learners.
Make your classroom experiences count towards your professional development. Use your Workbook to reflect on what worked, identify areas for improvement, document your developing knowledge and skills, and plan your next steps. It's another way the Academy helps you make CPD in your classroom an ongoing part of your teaching practice.
