Advanced Teaching Diploma

A NEW professional training process that recognises and increases high quality teaching and professionalism.

What is the Advanced Teaching Diploma?

Advanced Teaching is designed as the most complete and cost-effective replacement of existing CPD and performance management. It takes away subjectivity, observations, stressful conversations and defensive reactions, leaving confident teachers who enjoy their teaching and are continually improving.

This is a two-year pathway to an advanced teaching diploma demonstrating a commitment to enhancing your teachers’ careers and professionalism.

Great teachers handle huge amounts of variables and are able to deal with the complexity of the teaching and learning processes easily. They want to be with their groups, and their learners thrive.

All teachers are different and teach differently. By embracing the non-linear nature of teacher learning Advanced Teaching empowers, enables and pulls together the five key strands of teaching professionalism.

5 Key Strands of Teaching Professionalism

Body of knowledge: Bringing depth to their understanding so they know when and how to apply pedagogy, method, diagnosis and intervention.

Practical deployment of knowledge: Employing classroom practice that enhances impact, learner progress, efficiency and effectiveness. It builds the skill of transfer from primary to secondary and across subjects.   

Evaluation of Impact: Analysing and improving individual and collective outcomes both qualitatively and quantitatively              

Professional Conduct: Building the ability to professionally cooperate and  collaborate. Constructing a school culture with an ongoing set of attitudes, skills and habits that teachers can continue to develop after the programme.

Social Purpose: Practicing inclusion and preparing young people for their role in wider society.  Building moral imperative and making teaching be the ‘greatest act of optimism.
