    • Designing professional development - you will strengthen your ability to design effective CPD that makes a genuine difference to pupil outcomes.

    • Delivering effective professional development - you will deepen your knowledge of the best ways to develop models of professional development and dialogue that inspires teachers to become the experts that their pupils need.

    • Create professionally confident teachers and leaders.

    • Grow the next generation of leaders with the skills and knowledge to use the evidence-base for the benefit of their children and young people.

    • Retain the best teachers who are excellent, collaborative role models for their schools and communities.

    • Inspire leaders who are able to harness the power of rich learning environments for their children and young people no matter the current circumstances.

“The NPQLTD was a fantastic experience! It was so useful to be able to have time to engage with literature and evidence and to participate in reflective discussions that I can relate back to my work in school.

I have really valued the face-to-face sessions and feel this approach to the programme delivery is very supportive”.
