Promoting a culture of continuing professional development

Effective continuing professional development (CPD) should be an integral part of your school’s culture. Embedding CPD policy and processes into wider school processes will ensure your school excels.

Your role is to promote a culture that celebrates staff learning, and encourages colleagues to share their learning with others. In a successful learning community staff learn both with, and from, each other. Ensuring the positive impact of professional learning is celebrated and shared will support positive changes in the CPD culture and practice in your school.
