We are inviting all interested in-service practitioners teaching at any level in a Scottish school to register on the second presentation of the Scots Language Masters-level teacher CPD programme starting on 2 September 2024. The online programme is hosted by the Open University in Scotland and designed and delivered in partnership with Education Scotland and Banff Academy.

Through Scottish Government funding we are able to offer free places for all interested teachers on this exciting professional learning opportunity bringing together practitioners from across Scotland.

Teachers on the programme will be able to gain a GTCS professional recognition award for their study.

The deadline to register and be one of only the second cohort of teachers to study the course is Wednesday 28 August 2024. Notifications to confirm places and instructions on how to access the programme will be issued by Friday 30 August 2024.

For those who either already have some CPD commitments for the start of the coming academic year, of would prefer to have more time before committing, you are able to indicate whether you’d prefer to start studying in September 2024 or January 2025 in the above online form.
