Praise for the first edition: 'Peter Earley and Sara Bubb bring
together, in a very accessible way, theoretical and practical
aspects of CPD and suggest how leadership and management can be
applied in this vital area of staff development. This book will
help co-ordinators and school leaders to develop their most
important resource - the people who work with the children' -
Richard Stainton, Education Journal 'The most obvious target user
for the book is the (not rare) person suddenly hoist with the staff
development responsibility petard: but, thoughtfully used, most
staffrooms will include several people who could benefit from
thinking about its contents and putting some of the ideas into
practice' - British Journal Educational Technology 'This book is a
welcome and practical guide to the wealth of publications on
Continuing Professional Development... [M]akes an excellent
contribution to the current and widening debate on the nature of
Continuing Professional Development. For School Leadership Teams it
is an essential resource and reference for the managing of
professional development and learning. It also serves as an
excellent practical guide, and CPD coordinators reading this book
will find themselves questioning and as a result developing their
own practice. The book is written in accessible language using
believable case studies to illustrate the wealth of research that
has been carried out. The deeply embedded notion among some
teachers that professional development consists of the one day
course is challenged, and the reader is left in no doubt as to the
range of opportunities that exist and need for them to be harnessed
in order to ensure school improvement. The book is will surely act
as a catalyst for the review and development of CPD in schools' -
Stephen Merrill, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, British
Journal In-Service Education 'A practical guide to all aspects of
professional development which ought to be in the possession of
every professional development coordinator in every primary and
secondary school in the land - and their colleagues in leadership
teams' - Tim Brighouse, TES Friday Magazine This new edition of a
best-selling book provides an up to date overview of Continuing
Professional Development (CPD), combined with a guide to best
practice. Changes include: - expanded sections on the professional
development of support staff and the wider school workforce
(particularly 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;
- detailed guidance on CPD for staff at different stages of their
careers. 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.
