Engaging CPD Training Session for Teachers

Professional development works best when teachers are actively involved in the learning, not simply listening to it.

This CPD bundle has been designed to spark discussion, encourage reflection and create meaningful professional conversations around evidence-informed teaching. Instead of relying on lengthy presentations or passive note-taking, the activities invite staff to collaborate, debate ideas, share experiences and explore research-backed strategies in a practical and engaging way.

Whether you're leading a staff meeting, delivering an INSET session, facilitating a professional learning community or supporting teacher development across a school, these resources provide a ready-made toolkit of interactive activities that make professional learning feel purposeful, relevant and enjoyable.

Inside the bundle, teachers will explore key areas of effective classroom practice including retrieval practice, cognitive load, metacognition, adaptive teaching, feedback, questioning, student agency and much more. The focus is always on helping staff connect research with real classroom practice.
