Sarah Longfield of Cambridge University Press has published a free white paper entitled ‘Effective professional development: Principles and best practice’.
Have you always wanted to know how best to approach your own professional development, or that of the teachers in your institution? Silvana Richardson and Gabriel Diaz Maggioli have created an Effective professional development: Principles and best practice whitepaper as part of the Cambridge Papers in ELT series.
The whitepaper discusses how to plan and implement teacher professional development programmes, using the available research into CPD, as well as the authors’ substantial experience and expertise. The result should lead to deeper teacher learning, and better results in the classroom.
From the research, we have identified the key principles for successful teacher development. These underpin our approach to teacher learning and development. The key principles revolve around the acronym INSPIRE.
