Perfect teacher-led CPD
Synopsis
Continuing professional development (CPD) is designed to improve teaching practice: in this book deputy headteacher, Allison argues that if schools are to develop their teachers into the best practitioners, then they need varied and personalised CPD programmes based on collaboration and sharing best practice.
Over the course of the book he looks at how schools can move away from the ‘one size fits all’ approach to CPD that exists in a number of schools, to a CPD programme that appeals to a range of teachers, unlocking their potential.
The book covers; leadership, school improvement, staff development, teaching excellence, and growth mindsets. It also provides examples of best CPD practices, such as 15 minute forums, coaching and pupil-Led CPD.
