Listed below are some of the areas from the site:
Professional Bursaries Scheme for Teachers in their 4th and 5th Years of Teaching
The Professional Bursaries Scheme offers teachers in their fourth and fifth years of teaching a bursary of £500 to spend on their own professional development.
The scheme enables teachers to take responsibility for their professional development by letting the individual decide how they spend their bursary. All we ask is that bursary-funded activities help meet your professional development needs. For example, buying materials, attending courses, visiting key sites abroad, work shadowing or arranging guest speakers. http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/professionaldevelopment/ opportunities/bursaries/
