Recommendation 33
33
Leadership-focused professional development limits teacher retention and non-leadership progression opportunities
Conclusion
We understand that when Continuing Professional Development is exclusively focused on leadership teacher retention can be undermined as teachers unwilling to take up such roles have limited opportunities for promotion or progression. We welcome the move towards more subject specific NPQs as well as the NPQ for special educational needs co-ordinator’s (SENco) that will be available from Autumn 2024.
