important in the light of workforce

remodelling) and the evaluation of CPD

- more on making sure that professional

development has an impact, and

provides good value for money

- the common core of skills and

knowledge for the children's workforce,

the new standards for qualified teacher

status, induction, threshold, excellent

teachers and advanced skills teachers as

well as those for higher level teaching

assistants.

Drawing on the latest research, the contents include:

- a clear explanation of CPD and latest

developments;

- practical tips on how to lead and

manage CPD for a range of staff in

schools - identifying training needs,

designing and implementing

programmes and evaluating their impact;

Written in a clear readable style it covers the latest standards and offers examples of current good practice. It is an essential professional reference for all those responsible for leading and managing professional learning in schools (headteachers, deputies, CPD and staff development coordinators) and Local Authorities (LAs). It will also prove invaluable to training providers and universities.
