Online Community
One of the greatest resources in teacher education are peers for their experiences, perspectives and as sources of materials. The HEDP's CPD programme recognises this asset within the full community CPD participants across the country, and we are keen to develop and suuport this group in a national network of teachers.
This network can can share their ideas, expertise, challenges and rich experiences of teaching about the Holocaust in the classroom through our "online community of enquiry and exchange". It is a place where programme graduates can share challenges and solutions, materials, experiences and expertise with colleagues working in classrooms across the country. It is open to all teachers who have completed the CPD programme.
More information on the online community coming soon.
