The new Professional Learning Passport has been created by the EWC as an “exclusive online portfolio” designed to aid education professionals with their professional learning.
The passport, which is available through the ewc.wales website and which is funded by the Welsh government, contains useful links to resources such as Hwb, Hwb+ and Learning Wales. It allows teachers to upload documents, presentations, photos, audio and video files to assist with their reflective learning.
NQTs in their induction year also have a section dedicated to them so that their mentors can review and reflect on their teaching and learning.
Chair of the EWC Angela Jardine said: “The EWC’s Professional Learning Passport is a one-stop-shop for teachers, lecturers and support staff to record their progress and evaluate their experiences. It’s also a gateway to accessing valuable professional resources from Wales and beyond.
“This is the first all-Wales education portfolio for school and further education staff, and brings education in line with other professions which use similar platforms, such as health. We hope practitioners will find the Professional Learning Passport useful and wish them the best on their journey.”
The EWC is also launching the first national education workforce survey for Wales, on behalf of the cabinet secretary for education, Kirsty Williams. Online surveys are being developed for teachers, supply teachers and support staff.
