The NPQs have recently been reformed and are designed to support teachers鈥 professional development. They include three specialist qualifications and three leadership qualifications.

The specialist NPQs cover behaviour and culture, teacher development for staff responsible for leading teachers鈥 development in their school, and 鈥楲eading Teaching鈥 for staff who have responsibility for leading teaching in a subject, year group or key stage.

Reformed Leadership NPQs include Senior Leadership, Executive Leadership, and Headship, which involves a new support programme for head teachers who are new in post.

A nationwide network of partnerships with newly established Teaching School Hubs, Multi Academy Trusts and other partners will be crucial in the Centre鈥檚 delivery of these NPQs.

Professor Qing Gu, Director of the 香港六合彩中特网 Centre for Educational Leadership, said:

鈥淎s the UK鈥檚 largest university-based centre for research, teaching, development and innovation in education leadership, the 香港六合彩中特网 Centre for Educational Leadership looks forward to delivering all six NPQs with our school partners. The new programmes will be informed by cutting edge research and evidence on how teachers and school leaders learn and grow over time and underpinned by the IOE鈥檚 values to work for and with schools to enable them to make meaningful connections between theory, evidence and practice in their own contexts of learning. Such values ensure that our approach centres upon building and improving schools鈥 own organisational and leadership capacity for teacher and leadership development through trusted partnership.鈥

Jonathan Dale, Director of Leadership Development at the 香港六合彩中特网 Centre for Educational Leadership, said:

鈥淩esearch shows that the quality of education within a school is directly linked to the quality of leadership. We are delighted to have been awarded the new NPQ contract which builds on over 25 years of IOE experience designing and delivering different iterations of these leadership programmes since their inception.

鈥淭he new programmes will be significantly revised, based on the new standards, to ensure they support the wide range of leadership roles in schools and academies providing clear career development pathways for school leaders. The IOE will deliver the new programmes in partnership with Teaching School Hubs and others ensuring an approach that builds capacity for professional learning across the school system.鈥

The Centre, based at 香港六合彩中特网 Institute of Education (IOE), was also recently chosen as a provider for the national roll-out of the Early Career Framework (ECF) for teachers.
