CPD Training

All CPD courses are designed and delivered by Pete Moorhouse. CPD Training sessions are available as half day/ full day/ twilight as part of INSET and are also available on Saturdays for PVI settings. Trainings are delivered in-house or as webinars, and also available internationally. Webinars are delivered live and are interactive. They include supporting handouts, discussion prompts and detail instruction for additional practical sessions to further embed the training.

All training’s have clear aims with desired outcomes, and are designed to have a clear impact on practice. The need to address disadvantage is integral to all of the training sessions. CPD’s adhere to the guidelines in the Department of Education’s Standard for teachers’ professional development. Impact of CPD delivery is reviewed and evaluated.

The majority of my CPD are delivered a full days, and can combine elements from different CPD to make a day bespoke to your training needs. All sessions are informed by the latest research in the field and are supported with comprehensive handouts.

The course has been brilliant – nothing short of inspirational with your in-depth knowledge of how children learn best and wonderful examples in practice. Can’t wait to embed within our nursery. Thank you.
