Continuous Professional Development

" Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better. " - Dylan William

EIS, encourages professional development in its teachers, hence organizing workshops to enhance our teachers skills is an incredible part of our school. We strongly believe that CPD (continuous professional development) has the potential to raise the bar and close the gap in pupil attainment. Our CPD program is planned not only to get our new staff up to speed but also initiates working at a very high level quickly. We hope to provide both support and challenge to our staff, like we do in our curriculum; strive for personalization in our CPD programs. All staff has collaborative planning sessions where our core purpose is of enhancing learning and teaching process. So in short, our CPD is effective for staff development as it is increasingly targeted to build on existing teacher skills and is based not only on what we think effective teaching looks like, but on its impact on student's learning and collaboration.
