Have you ever wondered what it would be like to teach in a different school environment, or even gain a taster of working at a promoted level?  If so, then the new Teacher Exchange Programme might be the initiative you have been waiting for.  The Scheme has been agreed by LNCT and is open for teachers in West Dunbartonshire Council  and is open now for applications of interest.

The main aim of the scheme is to support professional development,  giving you the safety net of a structured development opportunity for a set time before returning to your substantive post with, hopefully, enhanced skills and knowledge to add to your CV. Exchanges may be agreed where there are suitable exchange partners and a clear development opportunity can be seen.  They can last as long as 1 term to 1 full academic session, depending on the circumstances of the exchange.

Further information on this exciting new professional learning initiative can be found on the following link – LNCT AGreement No 13 Teacher Exchange Programme –  This guidance document also provides you with information on how to submit an application to participate in the exchange scheme, and  we look forward to receiving some interest in this scheme.  If you want an informal chat about the exchange programme please contact either myself, or Matthew Boyle on 01389 737371 (Linda McAlister) or 01389 737310 (Matthew Boyle).
