Practice Educator Continuing Professional Development
Practice Educator Masterclasses
Our practice educator training offer does not end with our training programme. The GMSWA Practice Learning Steering Group are committed to ensuring the continuous professional development of our Practice Educator community, by offering a series of Practice Education Masterclasses, designed and delivered by GMSWA partners. These masterclasses are open to all practice educators, on site supervisors and apprentice mentors, with the aim of supporting your Continuing Professional Development in practice education. As well as this, every year GMSWA hosts a Practice Education Conference, inviting experts in practice education to come and share their research, experience, learning and updates.
By undertaking this training, you will become part of practice education community in Greater Manchester, and we hope that you will continue to support the development of students and enable positive learning experiences for our future generations of social workers.
