Education workforce development

We believe that every education setting should be filled with skilled practitioners – whether they are early years educators, early career teachers or experienced leaders. We develop the capacity of teachers, leaders and other education practitioners across the breadth of their careers, from initial training and early career support to senior leadership development.

Our experts design and deliver training to improve teaching quality, and ultimately, improve learning outcomes. Our experience in this field is truly global – from providing continuous professional development for early childhood educators and newly qualified teachers in the UK, to supporting effective strategies for teaching literacy in Zimbabwe, to building the capacity of teachers of refugees in Lebanon.

Through our evidence-informed programmes, we are proud to work with a dynamic range of individual educators around the world, but our expertise goes beyond that. We know what it takes to transform an education workforce at system level: expertly translating policy into successful implementation plans, and delivering them with real impact. Our work on education workforce development therefore encompasses evidence-based policy reform, competency frameworks, leadership development curricula, and delivery of professional development activities – all centred on better meeting learners’ needs.
