9. Analysis of practice

10. Some questions for CPD providers Is it your job to work from the participants’ existing knowledge (needs assessment)? Does all provision have to benefit pupils? How do you know if yours does? How can I provide a ‘sustained’ learning experience at a one-day workshop? Broadly, ‘transformative’  more expensive – but not always. Is your offer VFM?

11. “But are they any good”? CPD market fragmented and cautious Schools stick to the ‘same old, same old’ or word of mouth CPD a risky investment No mediation layer or reliable ‘buyers guide’ But now they’ve got the Good CPD Guide and QR
