What is this guide about?

Investing in teacher PD in general is unlikely to dramatically impact school improvement nor provide value for money. School leaders and teachers, like yourself, must make informed decisions to invest in professional development that is tailored to schools and teachers’ needs and is evidence-based, ensuring money is well spent. But where do you start?

This guide aims to help you feel confident when faced with investigating external providers, by helping you to know what effective PD looks like, how to quality assure the professional development on offer and measure the impact it has on your learners, staff and school.

This guide includes:

  • Information on what makes effective PD in education
  • Advice on selecting the right continuing professional development provision
  • Suggestions for how to choose the right PD provider and resources
  • Guidance on how to measure the success of PD
  • Effective ways to share findings and build a collaborative culture
