In our latest episode of Governing Chatters, Steve Edmonds discusses staff development with Mandy Coalter, Founder of Talent Architects and Gareth Alcott, Director of Strategic partnerships at the National College of Education. In a thoughtful discussion, Steve, Mandy and Gareth explore the key points in establishing a culture of CPD within a school or Trust, how to make the most of the CPD budget and how the culture of CPD should fit into a wider talent management strategy. They also look at how you can use the appraisal as a force for good and the vital role of collaboration and peer learning.
