Section outline

  • Our Professional Learning Pathways provide a suggested guide to the training, resources and development opportunities available through the Virtual School for a range of education professionals, including Designated Teachers, Early Years Designated Leads, Teachers and Learning Support Assistants. Each pathway sets out a suggested progression from introductory self-led learning, through core training, to more specialised practice development, helping practitioners build their knowledge, confidence and effectiveness in supporting care experienced and vulnerable children. The pathways can be used to identify individual professional development needs, support induction into key roles and plan ongoing learning across schools and settings.
