Early Professional Development Support Programme 2013-14 EPD Portfolio Framework EPD Portfolio Framework The following suggested framework is offered to you as a possible way to structure your EPD portfolio of evidence, whether in printed ‘Word’ format or in e-portfolio format. You should feel free to personalise and adapt it for your own use while taking care to ensure that the end product contains evidence of the core EPD requirement of reflective practice in the context of 2 Professional Development Activities (PDAs). Section 1: Personal/School Profile Personal Details School Details – information on the school(s) in which you are carrying out your EPD, if different from Induction, and a brief description of your teaching remit Section 2: Continuing Professional Development during EPD A Record of Professional Development during EPD A Record of Extra Curricular Involvement during EPD A Classroom Observation Log with notes of observations of other teachers in your own and/or in other schools which may support your holistic professional development and/or your planning and delivery of the EPD (PDAs), where applicable 6 Section 3: Professional Development Activity 1 This is the first of the two Professional Development Activities (PDAs) which you will carry out over the 2 years of EPD, one in EPD 1 and one in EPD 2. The PDA structure allows your Teacher Tutor or recognised supporting teacher to record their agreement at key points in the process and guides you in the evidencing of your work using the ‘plan, teach, review, reflect’ model under the following headings: Planning for Teaching and Learning ‣ My Professional Needs as a Teacher in the context of school, departmental or key stage priorities ‣ PDA Details – Your chosen ‘Topic, Focus’ and ‘Purpose’ A Teacher’s Guide to the EPD Process July 2013 edition
