New PBLA self-assessed resources on Tutela!
Have you seen this green checkmark on a new teaching resource?
It means the member who contributed it successfully went through the PBLA checklist before sharing it on Tutela. And, you can be more confident using it!
The PBLA Checklist is also a great reference tool to check resources you're already using or developing. Check out the FAQ page to learn more.
Thanks to our first group of members who've completed the new self-assessment!
