High quality professional learning is shown to have positive impact on teacher effectiveness, job satisfaction and retention. And ultimately it leads to better pupil outcomes. At Education Durham, we pride ourselves in ensuring that our offer to schools in terms of professional learning aligns to their needs and reflects the latest research and educational trends. We work closely with our schools to ensure that the offer that we give them supports all teachers and school staff in developing and enhancing their practises.
We offer a range of courses, networks and programmes covering almost all areas of the curriculum and all phases meeting the development needs of leaders, teachers and teachers support staff. Our training is delivered using a combination of face to face , virtual training and recorded sessions, so that we’re supporting staff in accessing training in ways that work best for them.
We offer bespoke in school support, delivering contracted work across all phases using advisers from our own team, external consultants and in-school practitioners.
On top of our core offer we work with a range of nationally recognised educationalists and organisations each year to support and develop our work in schools. Recently we have worked with Hywel Roberts, Jan Dubiel, The Teacher Development Trust and Evidence Based Education.
