Effective Leadership & Teaching at post 16

Tuesday July 2nd 2013

As global competition increases, so do the requirements of the United Kingdom's education system. Schools are facing significant changes from a political level, with over half of Britain’s secondary schools switching to the academy model and primary schools soon to follow suit. These changes present not only challenges to overcome, but opportunities to innovate within the education sector. A key factor in the success of the academy program will be the skills, knowledge & experience of the education sectors workforce. Salford Professional Development has been created in partnership with the University of Salford to provide short courses for the education sector. Drawing upon the university’s 100 year history of educational excellence, Salford Professional Development delivers high quality courses that meet the needs of a modern educational institution.
