Learning Wales helps Master's teachers

CPD
An online "one-stop shop" for teachers has been launched as part of the Welsh government's drive to boost standards.

The website, called Learning Wales, offers the latest teaching materials, ministerial announcements, news and notice of upcoming events.

Designed as a resource for everyone working in education, it also aims to support NQTs and those taking the new Master’s in educational practice (MEP).

The three-year programme is designed to strengthen standards of teaching and focuses on the Welsh government’s priorities of literacy, numeracy and reducing the impact of poverty.

All NQTs working in Wales who have just begun their induction are eligible for the MEP, which is funded by the Welsh government. 

Launching the qualification, education minister Leighton Andrews said: “In order to raise standards and performance in schools across Wales we need to be developing highly skilled teachers who are experienced and confident in the classroom and are able to deliver effective teaching as a result.
