CPD programme

Welcome to the NUT's not-for-profit Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme - open for all teachers. Core 'behaviour' courses are free to members; and we aim to make all courses affordable to teachers and schools. Costs for all teachers are eligible for funding from school CPD budgets; GTCW Bursaries; Creative Partnerships and other CPD initiatives/projects. All parts of the programme have independent tutors and speakers who are leaders in their fields.

CPD: Partnership Programmes

NUT CPD PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PARTNERSHIPS

Since its launch in March 2000, NUT’s CPD Programme has met its aim of “developing partnerships with experts in pedagogy” (‘Hallmarks’, 2000). Partnerships focussing on particular learning opportunities or events always welcomed and valued. For example, working in partnership with organisations such as SAPERE; the Highest Common Denominator (HCD) Trust; the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE); the National Campaign for the Arts (NCA); Antidote; Managing Schools Today; Local Authorities such as Brighton and Hove; the Innovation Unit; and the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) have all led to excellent professional development opportunities for teachers and school leaders.
