National Professional Qualification (NPQ): Leading Teacher Development

NPQLTD gives participants all of the essential knowledge, skills and concepts that underpin successful leadership of teacher development. Participants will cover ‘learn that’ and ‘learn how to’ statements in four areas:

1 – Teaching

2 – Designing Effective Professional Development

3 – Delivering Effective Professional Development

4 – Implementation

What are the benefits?

The fully blended learning approach combined with performance coaching and enrichment activities make this an exciting and valuable opportunity for those who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading the development of other teachers in their school.
