#APConnect Skylark Pathway

ESFA-funded organisations are now invited to apply for a fully subsidised place on the Education and Training Foundation’s #APConnect Skylark Pathway: Practitioner Led Professional Learning, organised by touchconsulting Ltd and partners.

Participation carries with it a grant of £3,000 and places are available for up to 30 organisations.

The Skylark Pathway aims to:

• establish Advanced Practitioners (APs) as leaders in leading professional learning to support quality improvements in teaching and learning
• enable APs to lead the drive for educational excellence, through networking and knowledge sharing
• extend appreciation of the AP role as values-driven leadership.

You can find out more about the #APConnect Skylark pathway here.

The programme has innovated year on year, to provide a blend of expert-led CPD and practitioner-led professional learning, such as the hugely successful AP-led Networks, now incorporated into the Skylark Pathway along with the Practice Development Groups of the last few years.
