RSC Northern can support you with your staff development programme

We can support you in planning your staff development programme. We can help you devise, implement and evaluate effective strategies and activities for issues such as:

* e-learning skills audits for new or existing staff

* strategies for particular staff groups, such as reluctant users, new teachers, managers or learning resources staff

* ensuring that classroom observers can recognise when e-learning is used well - or could have been used

* carry out an e-Progress Review- an overview of the current state of ILT within your organisation

* using new learning tools such as camera phones, blogs, podcasting, voting pads, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and camcorders

* act as a broker to help you find the training you want

Teaching and Learning - Resources for teacher educators.

If you teach on teacher education programmes or coach and support colleagues to improve their teaching and learning, these resources are for you. The resources include a wide and varied range of learning activities, case studies, videos, interactives and more. They can help you to focus on key themes and topics related to teaching and learning and also provide content and examples which can be used directly with teachers across the learning and skills sector.
