Values and Principles
Hertfordshire LA believes that the Continuing Professional Development
(CPD) of the whole workforce of our schools:
- Supports the improvement of children and young people's achievement
and life chances and the delivery of the Every Child Matters agenda
- Provides a role model for lifelong learning and helps develop inclusive
learning communities
- Supports the delivery and implementation of school, LA and national
priorities and initiatives
- Promotes self confidence, morale, well being and collegiality amongst
the whole school workforce
- Is an entitlement to which all members of the school workforce should
have equal access
- Is the professional responsibility of the individual and of their
school
- Should support those in the school community to update their knowledge,
skills and understanding and enhance their own practice
- Should support individual aspirations, career progression and performance
management
- Involves diverse learning and development experiences including professional
reflection and enquiry, research, face to face training, visits and
observations in and beyond the individual's school, networking, coaching
and mentoring, e-learning etc.
- Should draw on best practice from our own schools and from beyond
- Should be reviewed and evaluated by the individual, their school and
by providers to assess its impact on learning and teaching and to inform
future provision.
