Career development

Everyone who works in schools or LEAs can benefit from thinking about career planning and development. It's not just a question of pay scales: it's a matter of keeping your levels of job satisfaction and fulfilment up, and making sure that you always have new challenges to meet and things to learn.

There are plenty of resources to help improve your knowledge, skills and effectiveness to build on your strengths and achievements.

There is a new professional development tool which helps you to manage and record your progress.
