NPQ for Leading Teaching

NPQLT is designed for teachers and leaders who are seeking to develop their expertise in leading the teaching of others, through leading a subject, year group or phase.

NPQs at the National Institute of Teaching are school-led: our organisation was founded by four leading multi-academy trusts, and our programmes are designed and delivered with a focus on the realities of schools. Because teachers’ time is precious, our programmes are respectful of your time, and designed to have immediate impact on the pupils and colleagues in your school, as well as the colleagues and children you will work with in the future.

Overview

The role of a middle leader is pivotal in any school, and one of the most important aspects of your work is how you develop the individuals who stand in front of your young people every day. Through developing your ability to guide and improve the practice of those you work with, you will help the children in your school achieve their potential.

The NPQLT will develop your knowledge of what makes great teaching. You will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge through deliberate practice with peers and expert facilitators, helping you to secure the leadership behaviours that will help you to lead others well in teaching. By working to secure the excellent practice of your colleagues, you will impact the outcomes and experiences of a broader range of pupils in your setting.
