Leadership Strand

Synopsis- Are you spending money on CPD… or investing in better teaching? Join this practical leadership workshop to explore how a simple, structured approach to tracking teacher performance can transform CPD from a “one-size-fits-all” training calendar into targeted professional development that actually meets individual needs. We’ll explore how leaders can identify strengths, pinpoint development priorities, track progress over time and create individualised CPD pathways that connect directly to classroom practice and student outcomes.
