The new NPQ frameworks support evidence-informed practice                      Or contact YSA via admin@yorkshiresa.co.uk
throughout every stage of a teacher’s career. Schools and trusts can
have confidence that all their educators, from Early Career Teachers to
leaders of multiple schools, are building and developing their practice
from the same strong evidence-base.
Educational theory on how children learn, what impacts their
behaviour and how they are assessed, alongside what makes effective
continuous professional development for teachers and leaders are
covered.
There is a clear focus on what teachers need to know and be able to
do. Leadership CPD has often focused on personal traits, such as the
qualities of dynamic and charismatic leadership. The new and reformed
NPQs pay less attention to generic management and leadership styles
and more to the knowledge and skills that teachers and school leaders
need to tackle persistent problems in their daily roles.
