Continuing Professional Development: Key Themes and Strategies

CUREE was commissioned by GTC to undertake a qualitative exploration of the strategic planning and evaluation of continuing professional development (CPD) at school level.

In commissioning this study the GTC wanted to explore how and by whom decisions are made in schools about CPD needs and priorities, and subsequent resource allocation and evaluation; and to what extent this appears to be a strategic or an ad hoc decision-making process. As a result of this, GTC hoped to identify a menu of options and levers for improving the ‘demand side’ of CPD provision, particularly in its strategic planning and evaluation at school level.
