Professional development should be at the core of what schools do. If we're serious about improving outcomes for learners, then we have to continually improve the quality of our teaching.
This unit focuses on the features of an effective CPD strategy and the applications for your context. It will help you review your existing processes and develop your teacher learning strategy in new directions.
This resource is suitable for anyone with responsibility for leading professional development, who is experienced in their position and looking to refine their work. It applies to both primary and secondary contexts: if you're interested in planning CPD better and developing a vision, this is for you.
Most of the activities can be done on screen, but we also suggest opportunities for you to collaborate and discuss with colleagues.
