NAPTA’s Workforce Development Programme is the leading national professional development programme for support staff in schools.
The Workforce Development Programme
helps headteachers, support staff line managers and CPD leaders to implement a nationally respected professional development programme
that combines:
- detailed development needs analysis tools – the Professional Development Review (PDR) for teaching and learning support staff and the Support Staff Survey (SSS) for infrastructure support staff
- New: online self-evaluation for all staff on care and safeguarding issues, using Staff Profile
- time-efficient performance management, using individual and school reports
- carefully mapped, work-based training resources.
The Workforce Development Programme has already been used by over 130,000 practitioners in more than 115 local authorities across the UK. It has become the preferred choice of headteachers because it so effectively cuts the workload of leadership teams in reviewing and developing support staff.
All types of support staff benefit – from administrators to classroom-based staff; from lunchtime supervisors to business managers; and from caretakers to science technicians.
