PDP for teachers

A PDP is a period of time spent by a teacher in a company or other organisation.  This can greatly enhance teaching and learning and can focus on curriculum and/or management skills development.

Structured programmes, with clear aims and objectives, support a variety of curricular and continued professional development outcomes, including links to work related learning.  Activities are tailored to meet specific needs. 

A placement aims to:

• Refresh and update the teacher’s current knowledge                         
• Act as a stimulus for classroom material
• Provide opportunities for sustainable links with business
• Address specific personal training needs
• Support the development of leadership and managements skills
• Hands-on preparation for work-related learning and enterprise.
