Union learning rep's course
Too often the courses organised for teachers are punitive - "you
are failing, this CPD will put you back on track for the government's latest wheeze". As you would expect *our* NUT training courses are very different and aim to empower teachers and bring back some of the joy of teaching.
Union Learning Rep is a new role and hopefully a useful one which involves organising lifelong learning for people who are teaching. If teachers don't believe in learning for its own sake then who does?
Organising CPD for teachers continues and extends the role of the trade unions as educational bodies and advocates for education. There are details on the website http://www.teachers.org.uk
or ask your local learning rep.
The other strands to the role are lifelong learning, learning things which are of use or interest to the learner rather than directly to the employer; and of course promoting the training of union health and safety reps and other union officers.
All the government waffle about excellence is just boasting. Teaching is more about doing the best for your pupils in difficult cicumstances.
After a course at the NUT training centre I have now been "certified" - many say it should have been done long ago!
