PDP Summary of projects 2006-2007

The Professional Development Programme (PDP) is managed by the Association of Scottish Principal Educational Psychologists (ASPEP) in collaboration with local councils and funded by the Scottish Executive Education Department (SEED). This is the twelfth cycle of the programme, which involves groups of psychologists in cross-boundary project work and other professional development activities, around agreed themes, over a period of about one year. The outcomes of this work are disseminated to colleagues and others in the field of education. This booklet gives a summary of the activities and findings of the three themes addressed by the 2006-2007 programme namely:

•  A Curriculum for Excellence

• Supporting the Delivery of the Inclusion Agenda for Children and Young People with Challenging Behaviour

• Seeking and Taking Account of the Views of Children and Young People: A Psychological Perspective

The purpose of this document is to draw the attention of colleagues in applied psychology, education and related fields to the valuable work undertaken in these areas. Those seeking more information should contact the authors, who will be pleased to discuss their projects.
