Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology on creating the conditions for joy, wellbeing and professional growth

Gareth Conyard

TDT CEO on what CPD feels like to teachers based on the finding of our State of the Nation Report 2025 (Oct 2025)

 

Teachers deserve professional development that is impactful and meaningful, and work environments that foster agency and joy, so that they stay in the profession and thrive.

At this values driven event, we will explore what teacher professional growth feels like in 2025 and what leaders and policy makers can do to create inclusive cultures of ongoing CPD, so that teachers thrive and children succeed. 

We’ll hear from a diverse range of speakers and panellists on topics ranging from  implementing cultures of instructional coaching and developmental approaches to appraisal,  to flexible working and evaluating the impact of CPD.  

Join us for the CPD Leadership event of the year!
