Unit 206: Help improve own and team practice in schools
It is always important to evaluate our abilities as a professional working in school. Improving ones self and assessing our progress is needed to always push ourselves forward. It is very easy to become complacent in a working environment so we must keep up to date with Continued Professional Development (CPD) so we can do the best job possible. It not only benefits ourselves but all those around us.
The importance of CPD in schools is to be able to provide the best possible support and education for children. It keeps us up to date with current guidelines, policies and legislations. CPD also allows us to work to the best of our ability, building confidence in our role and boosts the overall performance of the team. Keeping up to date with our skills and knowledge opens additional opportunities within the school environment to develop in our role or even job promotion. Feedback from others helps with personal development and allows us to assess a situation from another point of view. Positive feedback gives us a boost in confidence, making us feel more valued and happier within the role. Feeling that we are doing our best and trying hard to improve ourselves is great for self esteem and the sense of wellbeing.
Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses so working as a team is very beneficial. Team work allows each members skills, experience and knowledge to be put to the best use and allows us to gain knowledge from those with more experience. It encourages the sharing of good practice. The team can support and motivate each other and offer addition support during times of stress. It demonstrates good relationships and communication skills and a positive environment for children. A strong team will ensure objectives are met and any problems can be dealt with promptly. A happy and dedicated team makes a pleasant working environment which will directly reflect on the children, their parents and other work colleagues. Working effectively with colleagues
