How does the Teacher CPD Academy help you?
Cutting-edge Cognitive Science research
Staff to use evidence-informed practices
What professional development leads say.
Engagement with the Teacher CPD Academy has been the most effective learning tool and journey that our teaching staff have been on throughout the last 20 years.
Strathearn School
As a leadership team, having the high quality resources pre-prepared saves so much time. I can also now ensure all staff are using the same materials and getting the same consistent message through the CPD courses. We also really appreciate the fact that key techniques and research are interleaved throughout the courses, modelling the linking of previous learning we want staff to do with their own pupils.
Lurgan JHS
I can only speak on behalf of my staff (I am the Principal) but I have observed almost 20 teachers in lessons this year since September and I can see the positive impact this is having.
St Mary's College, Derry
The platform has allowed us to share a unified message with all our staff.
Lagan College
We have grown in knowledge and confidence, regarding cognitive science, and have shared some great 'takeaways' from the webinars attended. These have been shared by staff and are being integrated, at a departmental level, to enhance the overall classroom experience for our pupils.
Castlederg High School
We have incorporated the platform fully into the 2025-2026 staff CPD programme. It has been an excellent tool in facilitating training in areas identified and targeted within our current school development plan.
