Continued Professional Development
Supply Desk recognises that continued professional development (CPD) is essential for all teachers and support staff, including supply staff.
Throughout the year we offer a range of CPD courses, which all of our candidates are welcome to attend.
- Safeguarding in Education & Child Protection – all of our candidates undertake safeguarding training to ensure they meet Ofsted requirements.
- De-Escalation workshops – These workshops are designed to help you delve into pragmatic and efficient de-escalation methods that can be applied to assist the young individuals under your care.
- Collaborative courses hosted with Proxima Education – Proxima Education work with leading teacher education providers to develop an innovative, scenario-based approach to training, where teachers are able to practice and receive real-time feedback in a safe environment.
- Cyber Security training from the National Cyber Security Centre – Cyber Security training was designed by the National Cyber Security Centre to help schools protect themselves and their staff and students with the ever-increasing reliance on IT and online systems.
- Online Autism Awareness Course (coming soon)
“The course was absolutely fantastic. Steph and Becca were warm, friendly, encouraging and professional. I love how the course is universal. Working as a small group (10 in total) was lovely as it meant we could all experience the holds and manoeuvres from all perspectives.
Having had a break from the classroom and a crash in confidence, the Team Teach course was a fantastic (and much needed) boost and I now feel more confident in implementing the classroom management/de-escalating techniques taught.
Team Teach is a wonderful programme that does not discriminate against ability… you don’t have to be built like a rugby player to confidently apply the techniques! EVERY educational practitioner should be Team Teach trained and it should be a compulsory unit of teacher/TA training.”
