Excellent value for<br />

As part of our commitment to keep training relevant and make it easily<br />
accessible to educational professionals, our Professional Development<br />
Services now offer 63 training modules covering a wealth of topics that are<br />
important in schools today.<br />
Each module is delivered by an accredited facilitator with extensive<br />
experience working in the education sector and in adult facilitation.<br />
Extending across <strong>GL</strong> Performance and <strong>GL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>, the modules are<br />
divided into six categories, as shown opposite. We have kept the pricing<br />
and booking system as simple and as flexible as possible so that you are<br />
able to ‘mix and match’ modules easily from across categories according<br />
to your school’s or local authority’s requirements.<br />
This is made even easier by the fact that the length and price of each<br />
module are exactly the same for all modules. With the exception of L1, an<br />
online module, each module is delivered during a three-hour, face-to-face<br />
group session.<br />
In addition, modules are mapped against the appropriate Ofsted criteria<br />
and sub-criteria to assist you in matching your module selection to your<br />
school improvement priorities.<br />
For further information, including details of the Ofsted mapping, please<br />

Why use PDS?<br />
• Our professional development modules help ensure that all aspects of<br />
school improvement can be addressed and resources used to their full<br />
potential<br />
• All modules are delivered by accredited facilitators who work or have<br />
worked at senior level in schools or local authorities<br />
• Flexible ‘mix and match’ system enables you to put together a<br />
professional development programme that is bespoke to your needs<br />
• Participation in our modules can help schools satisfy the requirements of<br />
the 2012 Ofsted framework<br />
• Three-hour sessions make it possible to slot a module in as an afterschool<br />
session, making Continuing Professional Development (CPD)<br />
more accessible to school staff and leaders whilst also removing the<br />
additional need for supply cover<br />
• All modules can contribute towards accreditation at Masters level from<br />
Bath Spa University<br />
• Offering excellent value for money, our services enable you to fulfil your<br />
professional development objectives in a cost-effective way<br />
• Our Professional Development Services all carry the ISO quality<br />
management standard. In addition, our ISO 27001 accreditation means<br />
that your data is safe with us<br />
The modular approach<br />
Choice of modules is very flexible and<br />
you are free to mix and match<br />
modules from across six categories.<br />
Please note that, while many modules<br />
are stand-alone, others must be taken<br />
in conjunction with one or more other<br />
modules. Information on pre-requisite<br />
learning can be found on our website.<br />
Coaching<br />
By placing a coaching ethos at the<br />
heart of professional development in<br />
your school, you can help ensure you<br />
get the best from all your staff.<br />
Data Interpretation<br />
The correct analysis and interpretation<br />
of data is essential to maximising<br />
school improvement and improving<br />
pupils’ attainment. Modules focus on a<br />
wide range of data sources, including<br />
key resources from <strong>GL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>,<br />
such as the Cognitive Abilities Test<br />
(CAT) (pages 10–18) and Pupil<br />
Attitudes to Self and School<br />
(PASS) survey (pages 50–52).<br />
Leadership & Management<br />
With 30 individual modules, our<br />
Leadership & Management category<br />
reflects clearly the in-depth knowledge<br />
and myriad of skills required by<br />
schools leaders and managers today.<br />
Teaching & Learning<br />
The ‘quality of teaching’ has been<br />
identified in Ofsted’s 2012 inspection<br />
framework as one of the four areas of<br />
priority. In line with this, our<br />
Professional Development Services<br />
offer four informative modules to<br />
enhance key classroom and lesson<br />
observation skills.<br />
ICT & New Technologies<br />
The modules within our ICT & New<br />
Technologies category provide senior<br />
school leaders and school staff with an<br />
increased understanding of new<br />
technologies and how they can impact<br />
positively on teaching and learning.<br />
School Governance<br />
With modules suitable for all school<br />
governors, our School Governance<br />
category is designed to help the<br />
Governing Body become more<br />
strategic and effective.
