UKLA announces the longlists of the 2012 Book Award. The UKLA Book Award is a national award, chosen by teachers. Shortlisting and then the final judging will be carried out by teachers from schools in the region of the UKLA International Conference. The awards will be presented at the Conference which will be held at the University of Leicester in July 2012.
UKLA is very grateful to the publishers who are committed to providing high quality literature for children and young readers.

CPD scholarship opportunities
If you haven’t seen this yet and you’d like to develop your practice to Masters level and beyond, see the TDA website which is offering scholarships:
The scholarship scheme is open to all teachers in England, with qualified teacher status (QTS) working in eligible schools. The value of the scholarship award will vary according to the nature of the proposed activity; the maximum award will be £3,500.
The primary aims of the scholarship scheme are to encourage you to pursue knowledge independently, to masters level and beyond, making it easier to access masters-level continuing professional development (CPD) in your chosen subject area or to access expert seminars.
