The Evidence People
CUREE was commissioned by TDA to undertake a short scoping study on patterns of participation of black and minority ethnic (BME) teachers and teachers with disabilities in Post-graduate Professional Development (PPD) programmes. These reports are the result of the first year of this project.
This report provides a large snapshot of the range of CPD provision in England, where it stands in relation to the evidence base on effective CPD, and how much it costs. It is based on an evaluation commissioned by TDA of 75 providers including universities, awarding bodies, subject and other specialist associations, large and small private training organisations, local authorities and schools. It was carried out in 2010 -11. Its contents will help providers reflect on theircurrent provision, and consider the next steps in developing their offer
Queens University Belfast gave us the following feedback on their workshop:
It improved understanding of how to overcome difficulties in challenging students, and highlighted the importance of providing appropriate levels of challenge in the classroom. The case studies were very useful.
