The NPQ in Middle Leadership has been replaced with three specialist NPQs; Leading Teacher Development is one of the new NPQs.
This NPQ is for teachers who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading the development of other teachers in their school. They may have responsibilities for the development of all teachers across a school or specifically trainees or teachers who are early in their career.
The NPQLTD will allow teachers to engage in evidence-based approaches and design effective professional development which avoids creating unnecessary workload. It will also allow for the delivery of effective professional development with professional conversations giving participants the opportunity to successfully support Early Career Teachers (ECT).
Programme delivery
Programme delivery for all of our NPQs is designed to be flexible to work around current work and personal commitments.
The commitment needed is:
Synchronous hours (online and in-person): 24 hours
Self-study: 36 hours
Mentoring: 2 hours
Programme length: 12 months
The programme is made up of a blend of in-person, online and self-study components totalling a maximum of four days plus self-study.
Our delivery model requires a day together in the first term and a half day in terms two and three.
Who is NPQ Leading Teacher Development for?
