Abstract

Professional development is changing. Once upon a time, when this was called ‘INSET’, we’d be sent on courses where someone would talk them through a ring-binder of material with an accompanying stack of PowerPoint slides; more often than not, the trainer had as little input into these materials as we participants did into the course content. Often the best bit was the chance to talk to fellow participants, sharing stories about what had worked well in our classrooms.
