The UKEdChat Certified Professional Development Course accompanying the UKEdChat Online Conference 2020, even after the event.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive a fully certified PDF Certificate of Attendance for use in professional development conversations or evidence.
The online conference was built to support teachers, school-leaders and educators globally during the COVID-19 pandemic crises. With over 70 presentations, the course offered a varied mix of resources, ideas and inspiration and this accompanying course allows educators to receive certification proving their attendance and, more importantly, engagement with relevant sessions during the conference.
**PLEASE NOTE** You do not need to attend the conference live to participate in this reflective online learning certification programme.
You are able to receive certified recognition for interacting, engaging and reflecting with the conference through replay sessions, which are included within this online programme. You are encouraged to interact with speakers and course convenors on the UKEd Academy forum site – register an account and see https://forum.uked.academy/viewforum.php?f=36.
The conference took place from 9-11 June 2020, but participants of this course can attend the sessions, and interact with the presentations at any time.
To succeed in this course, you are expected to engage in (at least) 6 sessions presented at the UKEdChat Online Conference. Within this course programme, you have access to all 75 presentations, and you are required to reflect with six. The aim of the programme is that you engage with the presentations, and take ideas to further your own professional practice.
Each of the six main lessons align with the six sessions presented at the conference.
Attendance at the conference remained free for all educators globally, however, this online certified programme running alongside the conference is only £10 and is still available after the event.

I had technical - and scheduling - problems doing the conference but this course allowed me to catch up on the sessions I missed, help make further connections through reading the forums and really focus on the sessions in which I was interested.

Really valuable to be able to reflect on my own teaching practice, especially asI have the time to plan to put in place ideas and teaching methods for when we return to school. Not all presentations had a tangible 'something to take away', which is useful to have, in order that the CPD can be implemented in our teaching practice. Overall, a really brilliant resource of knowledge experience.

As a 'returning teacher', I found this a very valuable round up of current thinking - for teachers, and by teachers (or others with genuinely relevant viewpoints). Most speakers began by "selling" why their topic was important, and what their credentials were... in retrospect, this was barely needed as the audience would be watching precisely because they thought the topic mattered.
I really enjoyed the variety of presenters and the breadth of topics and issues they covered. I t was perfect CPD for lockdown which reinvigorated myself and my team. Thank you very much
