Schools now face ever-escalating targets, increased staff turnover and the most severe public sector cuts for a generation. In order to flourish in these times of austerity, schools must develop sophisticated, integrated systems of professional development if children and young people are to receive the outstanding education they deserve. The School CPD Toolkit presents a powerful holistic framework for maximising CPD provision across the whole school. The book sets out how to audit current CPD needs, identify opportunities, and effectively plan and implement CPD programmes for all stakeholders, including governors and support staff.
