#APConnect: Programme Reflections!

#APConnect Reflections #1

Looking backwards, looking forwards

This year we are so, so, so excited to share video-reflections from practitioners who’ve participated in the Education and Training Foundation’s Professional Development Programme for Advanced Practitioners over the past couple of years. We kick of with Alison Loughnane from Hopwood Hall College. Alison shares her reflections with Stef Wilkinson. The pair discuss Alison’s experiences of the 3-day ‘Developing APs’ face-to-face CPD (June 2018), professional learning squares and the rich outcomes and long-lasting impact of the College’s collaborative project with Bolton College  – ‘Good to Great.’

Alison started new to the AP-type role in 2018 with six hours remission and is now operating in her dream role of 0.5 AP and 0.5 teaching. The team at touchconsulting is thrilled to have been part of Alison’s journey. 

It was the best CPD I’ve ever been on in my life. It was fantastic. I learnt so much. I met so many people.
