CPD builder

CPD builder is an innovative tool that offers you:

• imaginative ways to explore, interact with and use the teaching and learning and CPD resources
• opportunities to build a CPD programme to meet your personal needs and that contributes to your professional development plan
• the flexibility to work individually, with peers or in teams to suit your particular circumstances.

CPD builders are part of a toolkit that can support you through each stage of your CPD journey. Use Small steps - big difference to review your current practice and identify your priority areas for development. Putting CPD into action provides a framework to help you create and implement your professional development plan, guiding you through the reflective cycle. You will be prompted to use this as you work through a CPD builder.

CPD builders can contribute to your 30 hours' CPD (or pro rata equivalent) required by the Institute for Learning or provide evidence to support your professional formation.

Open the How to guide for a step-by-step demonstration of the CPD builder, or watch the video clips to hear practitioners talking about their experience. Once you have started you can get help at any time by clicking on the Help icon.

The tabs below allow you to search for your CPD builder by selecting the subjects, pedagogy approaches, skills or themes relevant to you. CPD builders are now available in twelve subject areas. You can learn a lot from other areas so look outside your own subject or vocational areas and think how you could adapt approaches and resources.
