"Please note: This event booking is only applicable for invited registration for schools/settings in Newcastle LA. If you are not part of this group, please contact us for further guidance. 

For professionals ready to work on a school improvement project over time.

Professional Development (PD) Groups are facilitated, cohort-based groups where professionals work on a defined school improvement project over time.
These are not webinars or one-off CPD sessions. Participation involves active engagement across a series of sessions, with work taking place in your setting between sessions.

Participants are expected to commit to attending all sessions and to work on their improvement project between sessions.
This PD Group will support colleagues to implement and review Speech, Language Communication Needs intervention and provision within their setting.

Please note: This PD Group is delivered as a series of sessions and requires commitment to attending all sessions.
