An independent group of teachers, school leaders and education experts has been created to establish what constitutes effective CPD in schools.
The CPD Expert Group will develop a new Standard for Teachers’ Professional Development, which is to sit alongside the existing Teachers’ Standards.
The Department for Education (DfE) has said that this new standard, due to be published in early 2016, will not be statutory.
The DfE has also charged the group with helping teachers and providers to “understand aspects of good-quality CPD” and clarifying “common misconceptions”.
The group, which is to be chaired by David Weston, CEO of the Teacher Development Trust, will consider national and international research and have the power to call for expert advice and evidence.
