Taking Hold
- The beauty of this pack…and the others presumably in the series…is that not only does it have useful content for a school-based mentor or coach with regard to their own CPD, it equips the teacher to organise workshops relating to CPD for other colleagues.
- The pack will provide the CPD coordinator with high-quality up-to-date materials in one place. The toolkit will enable them to construct a development programme tailored to the needs of their own school.
- This is an outstanding resource.

CUREE visit Hong Kong
In June 2008 CUREE’s chief executive Philippa Cordingley and managing director Paul Crisp visited a school in Hong Kong in a visit coordinated by the British Council.
During the visit, a mini-conference was held so that ideas on various educational topics could be exchanged. Topics included developing high-efficiency staff development periods, applying research-based learning to Liberal Studies’ topics, how research-based learning promoted students’ learning in neuroscience and what a school-based biotechnology curriculum was. At the start of the conference, three student representatives shared their learning experience in the school.
