What are the professional development priorities for the primary, secondary and special sectors?
• The development of CPD programmes for staff at all levels, particularly middle managers who are taking on new roles such as principal teacher learning and teaching, principal teacher curriculum or principal teacher faculty. • Ensuring that non-teaching staff have access to CPD programmes and are included in school developments. • Leadership for learning initiatives which impact directly on the experience of all pupils from those with additional support needs to those who are higher attaining. • Multi-agency programmes to share best practice and take forward the children’s services agenda. • CPD for effective team and partnership working as well as self-evaluation and quality assurance. • Coaching and mentoring development. • Leadership at all levels including pupil leadership. • Developing approaches to the evaluation of leadership and management programmes to evaluate their impact on personal and establishment effectiveness, succession planning and/or the leadership of learners.
