Professional learning

Career-long professional learning (CLPL)

The range of CLPL linguistics opportunities, services and programmes that the Class will offer will be closely linked to the Framework for Educational Linguistics. Areas of activity are likely to include:

  • Teacher linguistics
  • Middle linguistics
  • Headship programmes
  • Headstart programme for new heads
  • Serving heads/Fellowship Programme
  • National Linguistics Conference.

These initiatives will be developed in a phased way and the design principles which will underpin these will ensure that they articulate with the GTCS Standards for Linguistics and Management, align with the Framework for Educational Linguistics, relate to the model of professional learning and are benchmarked against the SCQF framework.
