Supporting Teachers

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 manages Fast Track, the world’s first programme of accelerated leadership development, which aims to identify some of the most talented serving teachers and the highest quality new graduates and career changers then provides them with the support they need to progress rapidly to become leaders in the profession both in the classroom and in management positions.

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.
