Best Practice

How can you evaluate your CPD effectively?

How can schools evaluate the impact of their CPD? Phil Bourne offers some insights and advice.

With increasing pressure on schools to ensure that they get the best pupil outcomes, as well as value for money, challenging decisions are required in all areas of their work.

Evidence shows that powerful professional development helps children succeed and teachers thrive. To ensure that the “ingredients” for improvement exist, leaders need to be diligent in guaranteeing staff CPD that focuses on high-quality programmes with maximum impact, while also reinforcing an ethos of ongoing learning. 

To evaluate the impact of CPD in the classroom, we must make sure that each CPD activity is aimed at a particular challenge that has been identified in the classroom.
