Teacher professional development

Placeholder photograph of a collaborative workshop.

This programme treats professional development as a change in what teachers and students do, not as a certificate collected at the end of a day. Participants examine a current lesson, name the evidence they would accept that a learner had understood, and plan one alteration they can defend. The description is an offer of focus. Dates, hosts, and participant numbers are not invented here.

  • Separate activity from evidence of learning.
  • Plan a small change and a way to look at its result.
