Professional Update Meetings

We held a series of meetings across Scotland to meet with teachers. The meetings were to outline our initial thinking on Professional Update and gather views. These meetings were in advance of a formal consultation which will be held in early 2012.

The meetings were held in the following locations:

• Glasgow - 12 October 2011
• Dumfries - 27 October 2011
• Dundee - 1 November 2011
• Inverness - 2 November 2011
• Stirling - 7 November 2011
• Aberdeen - 7 November 2011
• Edinburgh - 14 November 2011

The Edinburgh meeting was recorded to allow anyone who was unable to attend any of the meetings the opportunity to find out more about Professional Update. To view the recorded meeting, click on the play icon in the player below:
