Launched on 9th June at the House of Commons, this new report builds on earlier work identifying even more clearly how, and under what conditions, teachers' professional development and learning benefits pupils and students.
The report outlines the findings from a recent systematic review of the international research literature examining the evidence of what makes effective teachers' professional development and learning. This 'umbrella' review builds on but substantially updates the findings of several earlier Reviews, many of which were undertaken by CUREE. This recent review is the product of a team from CUREE, Durham University and UCL Institute of Education . It was supported by the Teachers Development Trust and TES Global.
The key finding of the Review was that carefully designed CPDL for teachers with a strong focus on pupil outcomes has a significant impact on pupil achievement.
The work is presented in four ways, each of which is downloadable from this page:
