Further Thoughts on Leadership Qualification

As a member of NAHT I get the mailing package that contains various things to read and of course there is very little time to do that effectively. However, I caught sight of NAHT's online learning website. After a quick flick through its pages it became clear that it is a very comprehensive set of materials which stimulate thought and facilitate Continuing Professional Development. For all staff.

This seems like a very innovative package. One that may solve some issues that schools have in generating interest in CPD amongst their staff. I'm discussing with my Head a review of our policy on CPD and this may be one thing to consider. We want to ensure that all our colleagues are encouraged to take part in some form of professional development. What form this encouragement takes is something on which I would welcome some input. What is your view of CPD?
