What is Professional Learning
Teachers engage in professional learning to stimulate their thinking and professional knowledge and to ensure that their practice is critically informed and current.
When a wide range of high-quality, sustained professional learning is undertaken, teachers are more likely to inspire pupils and provide high-quality teaching and learning experiences, enabling learners to achieve their best.
It is important that professional learning provides rich opportunities for teachers to develop and enhance their professional knowledge and practice, in order to progress the quality of learning and teaching and school improvement.

You can reflect on how the learning has impacted your thinking, teaching approaches and expectations through professional discussions, and can use these reflections when creating development plans.
Recording professional learning
You are not required to keep extensive evidence for your professional learning records.
Your employer will advise on any expectations for professional learning records and sharing those with reviewers.
Copying evidence on to more than one system should be avoided at all costs, and local authorities and employers should ensure that measures are taken to avoid this happening.
Where MyGTCS is used for recording professional learning, you can select any records you wish to share with your PU reviewer for discussion. During your PU sign-off year, there is no requirement to share 5 years’ worth of records, only selected entries from the current record would be shared and/or discussed, as per local policy.
