How Our PLD Works

Prepare

We can support you to understand funding options that suit your needs. We’ll meet with your key staff to ensure your needs are understood and accommodated within the plan.

plan

We develop an individualised PLD programme for your school and teachers. This means teachers don’t have to sit through another staff meeting they are already experts in and others get the opportunity for more intensive learning.

Deliver

As agreed in the plan, our facilitators will deliver the PLD programme, ensuring regular reflection and, where necessary, modification of that programme to meet the desired outcomes for your school.

Reflect

As part of all PLD, we will reflect on the changes and look at the future and support your school to make ongoing plans. We’ll stay in touch to ensure your PLD is sustainable, meaningful, and measurable.
