Career and progression pathways – meeting the needs of the individuals
The use of professional portfolios to help meet needs
- Review CPD Portfolios used by any staff in your school and consider the content, features, storage and potential use of portfolios
- Design your ideal portfolio arrangements. Refer to Resources 5.3.a
- Consider the following questions when reviewing the potential use of portfolios:
- What are the challenges and benefits of introducing a portfolio system for staff?
- Whose responsibility is keeping a CPD portfolio?
- If portfolios are being used, is there a specific role for the CPD Leader?
- If portfolios aren't being used, is relevant information recorded elsewhere?
