Expertise in Teaching Certificate (formerly known as Development of Teaching Practice Award)

This assessment unit is suitable for:

Who is it for? Practising teachers, middle leaders and senior leaders with classroom teaching responsibilities.

 (practising school leaders should undertake the Development of Teaching Practice Award (Leadership) instead).

Designed to fit with your existing professional development priorities, this certified CPD unit enables you to elevate your expertise and focus on an aspect of pedagogy that is important to you. You will engage with research and evidence to build your understanding of effective practice in relation to your chosen pedagogical focus. You’ll then dedicate time to apply what you have learnt utilising deliberate practice, a high-impact professional development approach centred around taking practical action in your classroom; you will identify clear goals that will help you to systematically hone your skills and embed your chosen approach within your teaching, adding to your pedagogical repertoire.

Please note: In undertaking this assessment unit you will be required to seek feedback on your teaching from a colleague, coach or mentor.
