As the first half term of the academic year draws to a close, many teachers are beginning to review their practice. Ongoing training can be a vital tool in improving teaching standards, which is why many teachers consider Continuing Professional Development (CPD).CPD (Continuing Professional development)

However, it shouldn’t just be teachers considering CPD. As well as traditional school education, further education and higher education are also key components of the industry, with the entire education sector responsible for teaching skills, values and knowledge to people of all ages. This makes attending accredited CPD events a vital form of training for professionals across the industry.

What are CPD Events?

At The CPD Certification Service, we’re often asked: “what are CPD events and how can they help me?” Well, CPD courses for teachers help those involved in education stay up-to-date with the latest trends, topics and information.

CPD events combine different methodologies, such as training workshops, conferences, events, e-learning programs, best practice techniques and idea sharing forums. Attending these CPD events can help you and your colleagues improve as education providers, continuing your professional development and improving your practice. 
Helping learning become conscious and proactive, CPD courses for teachers create a structured, practical and methodological approach to learning, ensuring academic and practical qualifications do not become outdated or obsolete.

This is particularly important in education, where not only can the level of support provided be inefficient, but where standards can change continually. Fortunately, a new Standard for Teachers’ Professional Development was introduced by the Department of Education in 2016. This highlights what counts as CPD for teachers, outlining how it should be implemented within schools and organisations that provide teachers with professional development opportunities.

An Essential Business Education Resource

Accredited CPD events remain an invaluable educational resource for businesses and individuals alike. This is because they show that the training and learning activity undertaken have reached the required CPD qualities and benchmarks, ensuring integrity and quality.For individuals, attending accredited events helps show you how to become a more competent and effective professional. In addition, training and learning can increase confidence and capability, as well as complimenting any career aspirations, showing a commitment to self-development and professionalism.

For organisations such as schools, CPD provision produces a healthy learning culture, leading to a more fulfilled workforce and higher staff retention rates. By attending accredited CPD events, your staff members are learning from experts in their field, providing practical learning opportunities. Timescales can suit your employees, too. Some courses are only an hour long while others can take up to ten weeks (these are split into modules).

One example that shows the impact accredited events can have on attendees, the organisations they work for and the company delivering the training is Capita Conferences.

Successfully delivering topical and incisive events to the public sector for over 20 years (including the education sector), Capita Conferences have found that CPD events accreditation has made their conferences more valuable, with attendees remarking that coming to these conferences increases their ‘professionalism’. It also allows them to network with like-minded individuals, learning from shared experiences in the process.

As well as this, having the training accredited for CPD allows attendees to use the learning time towards individual CPD requirements, helping them to up-skill. Providing CPD to all delegates helps support individual CPD obligations at professional bodies, such as teachers at schools, improving their best practice and teaching standards. This shows us that CPD events accreditation helps not only the learning provider but the attendee and their employer, too.

Events in Education

There are a number of CPD events available throughout the calendar year, with many options to suit each role in the workplace. Whether you work for a school, academic institution, art gallery or museum, you are sure to find a relevant course and provider. 
If you’re looking to improve your assertiveness at work, searching for anti-bullying training, or aiming for the effective delivery of Tacpac, you will find a course that meets your needs and requirements in our directory today.

The Performing Arts play a hugely significant role in helping children to develop their creative skills. Educational theorists are increasingly emphasising the importance of “emotional intelligence”, developing a creative mind and fostering personalities and imaginations as children make their journey through school, to become happy and well rounded individuals.Children's performing arts

While Performing Arts allow children to develop creative passions, they simultaneously teach children language and communication skills, helping them to communicate effectively with others with confidence.

Performing Arts are all about self expression, exploring alternative options and embracing individuality. It’s not black and white, or about right or wrong answers, and this allows children to develop self confidence and belief in themselves. With improved self confidence and self belief, comes a natural pathway for children to go on to master many more skills that will equip them for life.Studies have also indicated that children who participate in Performing Arts can enjoy improved performance in more traditionally academic subject such as mathematics and English.
Here we discuss how teachers can use Performing Arts in primary schools, and how Performing Arts can boost children’s overall performance throughout EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
Using Performing Arts in School

It is evident that Performing Arts form an important part of a broad and liberal education. They can embrace all subject disciplines as well as social activities, and because of the confidence and communication skills that they equip children with, children become empowered in whatever career path they decide to follow as they become adults.

Performing Arts in schools, whether studied and enjoyed by children as it’s own dedicated subject, to build on English language and literacy lessons, or as a cross-curricular medium to support other subjects such as history or science, allow children to experiment.

They can explore so as to better understand ideas and concepts, and try out different points of view. It’s an opportunity to recreate and reenact situations using different perspectives to reach conclusions.

Perhaps most importantly, Performing Arts allow children to be playful and creative. To explore their curiosity and try out new things, and new ways of thinking or behaving.Children learn to trust others and build relationships as they learn to share their thoughts and ideas with confidence, to listen to others and to learn about respect for one another through positive, constructive criticism. This is why Performing Arts are so important in developing “the whole child” and helping children to enjoy and make the most out of school life.

Used regularly as part of school life, Performing Arts can really help to strengthen the school community. Children develop a sense of individuality, perform well and as such are happier within themselves in the school environment.Being involved with music, drama and dance builds strong relationships between pupils and with their teachers, and this reinforces their identity within the school community.

When children from different backgrounds and cultures come together to put on a production, they learn to work together, develop an understanding and tolerance of different ideas and attitudes and a greater awareness and understanding of the world around them. As these children become adults they are more willing and able to work with other people who are different from them, and can enjoy the many benefits of the strong communities they have built.

This ranking of the best middle schools in the United States focuses on grades 7 and 8. By a "middle school" we mean a school that includes those grades. Because regions (states, districts, etc.) set their own standards, in some places grades 7 and 8 may be combined with the high school, while in others they may be found together with elementary grades. Another alternative has been to place 7th and 8th grades in a separate school by themselves or together with 6th grade (these are usually called "middle schools" or less frequently now "junior high schools").International middle school

Whatever the combination, the schools in this ranking have both 7th and 8th grade housed together within the same building (which is nearly always the case). Where 7th and 8th graders were housed with other grades, achievement scores for the 7th and 8th graders were evaluated individually, rather than for the school as a whole. The schools in this ranking have found a way to provide 7th and 8th graders with a rich school experience that prepares them superbly well for high school, college, and life.

Recent research indicates that it is beneficial to put 7th and 8th graders together with the elementary grades, creating a single school for K through 8. There are significant studies which show that junior high/middle school students perform better when educated in a K through 8 setting. However, in large urban or suburban areas this option may create space, staffing, and safety issues. For this reason, it is not always feasible to make one school for nine grades.

For this study, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results in science, math, and reading for 8th graders were used as a principal (but not the sole) basis for comparison of schools. The NAEP administers the same test nationally so that one standard is applied to each student no matter which state they live in.

In the case of other common standardized test assessments, each state creates and administers its own tests, which makes cross-state comparisons difficult. That is the reason why we emphasize the NAEP. However, state assessment scores were also examined, where available, and weighed together with the NAEP scores.Finally, other factors such as awards and rankings and geographical diversity were also taken into account.
Community Day Charter School
Community Day Charter was founded in 1995 and was one of the first charter schools in Massachusetts. It began with grades K--3 and added a grade every year thereafter until it had all grades K--8.

Teachers work together in teams to identify areas of weakness and formulate action plans for students who are not succeeding as well as they should. All students are given the opportunity to succeed with school support and the belief that all students are capable of meeting the demands of challenging standards.An extended day and extended year is offered to students who wish to develop their skills or participate in extracurricular activities.
Stowe Middle School
Stowe Middle School is a school for grades 6--8. The program at Stowe is rigorous, but the school recognizes the importance of more than just academics. All students are required to perform four hours of community service and many perform more service than is required. Personalized classes are provided so that students can build relationships with other students, as well as staff and faculty.

An online free library is provided to all students in addition to the regular library, which has a website that assists students in finding books that they will enjoy and to keep them updated on what is new and what is popular. The school also prepares a newsletter that gives suggestions to parents on things they can do to help their children to be successful both socially and academically.

Each grade in middle school is separated into teams so that students on the same team share the same teachers. Likewise, teachers on a team share the same students. There is a math, social studies, and science teacher for each team, and each teacher also teaches language arts across the curriculum.

Electives include life skills, band, choir, art, Technology Design Education, and Family and Consumer Sciences Education (FACS). A theater group performs plays and musicals and the school hosts informative seminars on drug awareness and prevention tips for parents on subjects like Abduction and Harm.Friday wellness classes allow students to participate in snowboarding, snowshoeing, skiing, swimming, and skating. Team sports include field hockey, soccer, track, and cross country skiing.

German household appliances company Vorwerk Group expects rapid growth in China with “premium consumers to lead the world’s consumption trend,” the company’s regional head said during the ongoing China International Import Expo. The second China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For further information about China International Import Expo, please visit: https://www.shine.cn/China-International-Import-Expo/ or

Vorwerk’s sales and brand awareness have been improved in China since last year's CIIE, with “big double-digit” revenue growth, said Zha Sheng, general manager of Vorwerk China. Vorwerk, a high-end household brand, released some new products during the expo, some products are specifically aimed at the China mark, including an intelligent cooking machine and smart tea maker. 

China is the now company’s fourth biggest regional market behind Germany, Spain and France.“China will take higher ranking in near future as local premium consumers now lead the world’s (consumption) wave, instead of following it previously,” said Zha. 

Vorwerk’s major consumers are in the major cities but new premium consumer groups have appeared in smaller cities with increased family income, the two-kids policy and consumption upgrade.Besides Vorwerk, high-end brands from UK and France are also expanding in the Chinese market.

After attending the CIIE last year, Vorwerk increased investment in China, especially its factory and research center in Shanghai. It now has 27 experience centers nationwide, with 10 more planned, Zha added.

The intelligent tea maker Temial allows users to make tea in two minutes. It features a tea-making database, mobile application and tea bags with bar codes. More than 10 types of Chinese teas have been launched in the German product line.

If I have to choose the a few highlights I’d definitely start with flying the COMAC flight simulator for the C919, China’s first ever designed and built wide-body passenger jet. The plane has yet to enter service — it’s expected around the year 2021 — so I was excited to get to take it to the skies from the captain’s seat in the China Pavilion.The second China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For further information about China International Import Expo, please visit: https://www.shine.cn/China-International-Import-Expo/ or

We took off from a virtual Hongqiao airport, flew around Shanghai briefly and then touched back down again at the same airport. My instructor laughed when I asked him if I had done a good job, so I’m not sure if I’ll be quitting my day job just yet.

Another highlight of the week would have to be coming across Triston, a makeup brand out of Switzerland aimed exclusively at men. It was quite refreshing for me as a guy who has to be in front of the camera often enough to need to buy concealer and powder to allow me to look somewhat decent in front of lights.

The company’s CEO, Jennifer Urwyler, is planning on launching her brand in China soon, targeting young, trendy, metropolitan males who just want clear skin. I’m not sure how many of those prerequisites I fit, but I’ll definitely be looking out for them in the near future.

Lastly I really enjoyed skiing in the Ice and Snow Experience area, which has been set up in a way to promote Beijing 2020, the Winter Games.

My ski teacher was shocked to hear that I’m from New Zealand — a country with many a skier — after he saw my lackluster performance on the snow. Maybe I’ll take some lessons when I’m home one time and wow him next year!This year’s expo saw US$71.13 billion worth of tentative deals reached for one-year purchases of goods and services, up 23 percent from last year.

Data from the PRACTICAL study showed that budesonide-formoterol reliever therapy in a single inhaler for patients with mild to moderate asthma was associated with a 31% reduction in the risk for severe exacerbations, as compared with maintenance budesonide plus terbutaline reliever therapy.wisepoqder Formoterol powder

“The budesonide-formoterol reliever regimen in mild to moderate asthma is based on the proven efficacy of the budesonide-formoterol maintenance and reliever regimen in moderate to severe asthma,” Richard Beasley, DSc, from the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand and the Capital and Coast District Health Board, wrote in an email to Healio Pulmonology. “This regimen has the potential to overcome the problem of underuse of inhaled steroids in asthma by using the reliever as its vehicle for administration.”
Investigators conducted the open-label, parallel-group, superiority trial at 15 primary care or hospital-based clinical trial units and primary care practices in New Zealand. They randomly assigned 890 adults aged 18 to 75 years with asthma to reliever therapy with one inhalation of budesonide 200 g–formoterol 6 g (Symbicort Turbuhaler, AstraZeneca) as needed or maintenance budesonide 200 g (Pulmicort Turbuhaler, AstraZeneca) twice daily plus two inhalations of terbutaline 250 g (Bricanyl Turbuhaler, AstraZeneca; not available in the U.S.) as needed.

All patients were using short-acting beta-agonists for symptom relief with or without maintenance low to moderate doses of inhaled corticosteroids during the previous 12 weeks. The study included six visits over 52 weeks and the primary outcome was the number of severe exacerbations per patient per year.

Fewer exacerbations

The final analysis included 885 patients. Results showed that the rate of severe asthma exacerbations was lower in the as-needed budesonide-formoterol group than in the maintenance budesonide plus as-needed terbutaline group (relative rate = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.48-1), as was the rate of combined moderate and severe asthma exacerbations (relative rate = 0.7; 95% CI, 0.51-0.95). Both time to first severe exacerbation and time to first moderate or severe exacerbation were longer with budesonide-formoterol vs. maintenance budesonide plus as-needed terbutaline, the researchers noted.

The most common adverse event in both treatment groups was nasopharyngitis, occurring in 35% of patients receiving as-needed budesonide-formoterol and 32% of those receiving maintenance budesonide plus as-needed terbutaline.

“This is the first independent study showing that budesonide-formoterol reliever therapy outperforms maintenance inhaled corticosteroid and [short-acting beta-agonist (SABA)] reliever therapy in mild to moderate asthma in reducing severe exacerbation risk,” Beasley said. “Taken together with the three earlier studies of budesonide-formoterol reliever therapy in mild asthma published in The New England Journal of Medicine, and the studies of the budesonide-formoterol maintenance and reliever regimen in moderate to severe asthma, there is now strong evidence that budesonide-formoterol outperforms SABA therapy across the spectrum of asthma severity.”

Brevibloc is contraindicated in patients with sinus bradycardia, heart block greater than first degree, cardiogenic shock, or overt cardiac failure. The drug should also not be used for treatment of hypertension due primarily to vasoconstriction associated with hypothermia or to prevent tachycardia and/or hypertension.2 In addition, Baxter is cautioning Brevibloc users to carefully monitor during infusion for patients with LV dysfunction, CHF, hypotension, reactive airway disease, and diabetes. Generally, patients with bronchospastic disease should not receive beta blockers, according to Baxter. Due to the relative beta1 selectivity and titratability, esmolol hydrochloride may be used with caution in patients with bronchospastic disease, titrated to the lowest possible dose.2

The most common adverse effect with Brevibloc is hypotension; asymptomatic (25%) and symptomatic (12%), mainly dizziness and diaphoresis. Hypotension usually reverses within 30 minutes of decrease of dose or termination of infusion. Infusion site reactions (8%) have also been reported.2
