Today we have published a report on the current state of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for teachers, informed by your responses to survey questions last term.
As we approach the General Election, the future of CPD provision is emerging as a crucial aspect of educational policy discussion.
Notably, the Labour Party has proposed a “CPD entitlement” for teachers, and there is an ongoing review of the Early Career Framework.
Three significant findings from the report:
- INSET days have limited focus on classroom practice
- Teachers question the impact of CPD on enhancing classroom skills in several areas
- Secondary teachers of smaller subjects are particularly keen to engage in subject specific CPD.
