Continuous Professional Development

Brighton offers a variety of professional development opportunities for Early Years, Primary Years and Secondary Years teachers to expand their skills. Thanks to the growth of online training, Continued Professional Development comes in a variety of forms, ranging from traditional school training days to e-learning. However, the overriding purpose remains the same: to help teachers continually improve the quality of their teaching. We provide a wide range of support for teachers, including on-site and online workshops, orientation programs, professional certification, and summer courses. High quality professional learning is one of the cornerstones of an effective school. It enables staff to develop the skills and knowledge they need to improve their practice and is central to improving student learning. CPD includes all practices which are needed to impact the classroom. The purpose of CPD is to enhance the work performance of educators in the classroom and increase learners' academic achievement. CPD has been shown to increase teacher motivation, confidence and commitment to teaching. Learning new skills and applying them in the classroom can lead to a more stimulating and effective teaching environment.

“Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better.”
