Lessons from international research for subject specific and pedagogic CPD
This presentation explores why and how outlier characteristics of initial teacher education in England have a lasting impact on CPD. It draws on two bodies of research - the Developing Great Subject Teaching Review sponsored by the Wellcome Foundation and work by the OECD Expert Group on initial teacher preparation which carried out a number of country reviews in Europe, the Americas, Far East and Australasia

LAST CHANCE! New Leadership Development Programmes in the West Midlands
Help Design New Leadership Development Programmes in the Region
Whats the problem?
In 2010 there were a total of 450 Executive Heads in England. We don’t have accurate figures for the number now but we know there are at least 66 leaders with that or a similar title in our region alone. Alongside this we see a dramatic increase in the numbers of deputy heads being catapulted into headship positions with little notice or preparation. Again, numbers are uncertain but we know of at least 40 in just two of the region’s LA areas.

Accelerate pupil progress with the new SKEIN>Momentum service
Skein Momentum is a diagnostic and development process which enables schools where progress has stalled to gain or regain momentum. Delivered by a partnership of CUREE and ASCL, it identifies several key building blocks to help school leaders ensure that all the core activities in their schools are working together and heading in the right direction.
Using information provided by the school via documents, pupil performance data, interviews and discussions, focus groups, observations and surveys, the service produces a confidential evaluation report containing detailed, practical and evidence-based recommendations. School leaders are then supported through one or a number of action research processes for implementing their plan, followed by a concise implementation and progress review

Developing Great Teaching - Lessons from international reviews of effective professional development
Launched at a prestigious gathering at the House of Commons on 9th June, this report outlnes 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 three ways, each of which is downloadable from this page:
