Leading CPD shows you how to design and lead an effective professional development programme in your school to benefit teachers and students and to lead to real change.

Professional development and training can lead to real change, improve outcomes for students and boost staff retention and recruitment - but how do we make that happen?

In this book, Susie Fraser, Director of the Manchester Communication Research School, explores the most relevant and robust research in CPD - including EEF guidance - and applies it very practically to enable busy leaders to design and lead a professional development programme that works for their school, primary or secondary. Using practical guidance, case studies, and questions for reflection, this book covers everything you need from motivation and staff buy-in, school culture and choosing the right content, to high-quality design, the power of habits and assessing the impact of CPD.
