What do LRs Do?
Learning Representatives undertake rigorous training which enables them to mentor colleagues who are interested in undertaking CPD but are not sure what is most suitable to them.
Any member wishing to undertake CPD and progress either on a professional or personal level can contact an LR who will research opportunities and advise on what would benefit the member most as an individual.
As LRs have undertaken a significant amount of CPD themselves they are aware of what is involved and how this can be achieved against the backdrop of work and personal commitments
Are EIS LRs the same as Local Association/College representatives?
No. The role of EIS LRs is to support the learning needs of teachers and lecturers.They are not negotiators and do not have a representative role in conditions of service matters, casework, grievance and disciplinary matters.
For all issues other than those related to the learning agenda, members should follow the normal route through their EIS local association secretary/branch representative.
