Online continuing professional development from Optimus Professional Learning

Optimus Professional Learning (OPL) provides web-based training courses that address the specific needs of people working in schools.
Elizabeth Holmes has written the following courses offered by OPL:

• Emotions and Learning
• Effective Induction
• Learning Styles
• Creating a Supportive Working Environment
• Assertiveness
• The Emotionally Intelligent School
• Excellence and Enjoyment: getting to grips with the new primary strategy
• Time Management
• An Introduction to Co-ordinating CPD
• Strategic CPD Provision

These courses are also part of the European Council for International Schools Online Learning programme.

OPL has an agreement with the University of Bath which allows students to combine work on OPL courses with study towards Masters-level credits on the Modular Advanced Education Course (MAEC). Work on the OPL courses would form part of an 'Educational Enquiry' unit on the MAEC . These Educational Enquiry units can contribute towards an Advanced Certificate, Advanced Diploma, or an MA in Education.

Nova Southeastern University, USA has more than 21,000 students and is the largest independent institution of higher education in Florida. OPL courses contribute to credits for a range of Masters degrees through their Fischler Graduate School. More information will be available on this soon.

Information about the courses can be found at http://www.optimusprolearning.com
