PDP projects 2008-2009

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 Government. This is the fourteenth 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 two themes addressed by the 2008-2009 programme, namely:

• Cognitive Behavioural Approaches in Educational Settings 2009

• Towards More Effective and Efficient Self-Evaluation for Educational Psychology Services

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.
