Self Evaluation Tools (SET)

The Linking Learning SET – connecting CPD with pupil learningThe Eye diagram in the Linking Learning SET:

• is a graphic that links pupil and professional learning and helps support participants and CPD providers consider the impact of the CPD opportunity

• helps participants to gain clarity about needs and outcomes, foci for staff development and strategies that research suggests are likely to work

• considers impact in its widest sense – in terms of the needs of the school, the children and young people and the participant’s own professional development

The Eye diagram – CPD activity (1)

• Ask the participants, either during or after the programme, to consider each aspect of the diagram and note their reflections next to each box

• Next, ask the participants to compare their thoughts by discussing their responses in pairs.

• You could then ask each pair to share with the rest of the group how their perception about the potential impact of the CPD on young people has developed through the activity
