Helping Teachers Develop

Schools now have to take greater responsibility for their teachers' continuing professional development (CPD) and their best teachers are expected to induct and mentor Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) and share good practice. Drawing directly on real-life experience, the latest research and current good practice, "Helping Teachers Develop" will help people in a mentoring, coaching, advisory or management role to: develop teachers, through understanding adult learning and the CPD cycle; meet needs from the range of professional development activities; carry out observations and give oral and written feedback in a range of situations; help and monitor planning and other parts of the job; and help teachers develop their careers. Sara Bubb takes the reader though every stage of CPD, from what professional development is, to how you can support and train staff in your own school. Photocopiable worksheets are also included.
