Phillipa Cordingley, et al
This review, commissioned in 2014 by the Teacher Development Trust, looks at international research into effective professional development for teachers. The key finding of the review was that professional development opportunities that are carefully designed, and have a strong focus on pupil outcomes, have a significant impact on pupil achievement.
The review also found that there was a “crucial nuance” to what constitutes this careful design, including the duration, structure, content and activities associated with effective professional development.
The review also discusses the role of external facilitators, and offers some insight into the importance of leadership in professional development.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
