The National Professional Qualification for Leading Teacher Development (NPQLTD) is designed for teachers who have, or aspire to have, responsibilities for leading the development of other teachers in their school.

They may have responsibilities for the development of all teachers across a school or specifically trainees or teachers who are early in their career.

Individuals working in this type of role face multiple challenges and may indirectly manage a team of mentors or coaches, as well as supporting initial teacher training, early career teachers as well as the wider professional development of colleagues within a school.

They need to have expertise across several specialist areas and have a thorough understanding of the pupils and colleagues they work with, all while maintaining the highest professional conduct as set out in the Teachers’ Standards, to ensure staff and pupils can thrive.

The course curriculum ensures individuals can respond to challenges they may encounter in their role, and provides a network, common language, and access to continuous debate to ensure educational growth and development.

This Programme is brand-new and designed in partnership with schools and expert organisations, ensuring all content is up to date and relevant to help participants face the challenges and ambitions of school leaders today.
