NPQ Leading
Teacher Development

This NPQ is designed to help you develop the knowledge and expertise to lead teacher development at your school. 

​

On this programme, you will learn how to:

​

• make sure professional development in your school is focused on a shared responsibility for improving outcomes for all pupils

• diagnose what teachers know and can do, starting professional development from that point and adapting the approach based on their developing expertise

• help teachers improve through evidence-based professional development focused on improving classroom teaching

• gain an understanding of what teachers have learned by reviewing patterns of performance over a number of assessments

• develop and lead a team of colleagues who can facilitate a range of professional development approaches

• contribute to a programme of professional development for mentors, trainees and early career teachers.

​​

This NPQ is for school leaders who are involved in the development of other teachers in their school. They may have responsibilities for developing all teachers across a school or specifically trainees or teachers who are early in their career. This might include Teaching and Learning leads, Lead Mentors or Coaches, Induction Tutors and CPD Leads.
