Well-qualified teachers who are enabled and empowered to create
innovative and exciting curricula are key to the successful
education and learning of young people.
We support teachers by providing them with continuing
professional development opportunities that give them the knowledge
and know-how to become the best teachers they can. We help them
fulfil their personal career aspirations and make a positive and
proactive contribution to the successful running of their school
and on the lives of young people they teach.
CfBT managed Fast Track, the world’s first programme of
accelerated leadership development, which aimed to identify some of
the most talented serving teachers and the highest quality new
graduates and career changers then provided them with the support
they needed to progress rapidly to become leaders in the profession
both in the classroom and in management positions. The Fast
Track Teaching programme ended on 31 August 2009 after 8 years.
We also offer a comprehensive continuing professional
development programme for teachers in East Sussex and Lincolnshire
through the School Improvement Services we run for these LEAs.
