Professional Pathways
Programme
The aim of the PPP is to provide CPD and
experiences for teachers from their second year
of teaching up to their fourth year. It may also
benefit teachers who are returning to the
profession.
Colleagues can follow a Teaching and Learning
route or use it as a stepping stone towards
leadership positions.
PPP Application and
‘Buddy’
The participant needs to complete a brief
application form that will be supported by a
Senior Leader.
There needs to be an in-school “buddy’ who can
discuss the sessions and gap tasks and facilitate
experiences in school.
Being a ‘buddy’ is not a huge commitment, but
should be someone with leadership experience.

Top Tip
Hayley Thrall
Programme Leader and SLT
Oakwood High School
• Don’t take a career promotion because it is
available, ensure it is an area that interests you
and reflects the person you are.
With my clear plan of action I will lead
us to success….
Through knowledge of the field I will
lead us to success….
By bringing others along with me I will
lead us to success….
With your continued input and support
we will lead each other to success….
By beating the rivals I will lead me, and
the rest of you, to success….
…just don’t get in my way!

Create intrigue in your lesson
from the beginning:
• Doesn’t have to be related to the
lesson/topic although better if you can!
• No fail questions are good.
• Go for 3 minutes rather than 5. Make them
work quickly!
Use interesting images:
Que es el problema?
What do you think
this image is?
What could be
happening in this
image?
There is no
right or wrong
answer!
What has happened? Why? How?
Use interesting images:

Other top tips…
• Target questions at students, rather than hands
up
• Wait time
• For card sorts, have a few blanks “up your sleeve”
as an extension.
• Plan your learning outcomes at the end.
Next Steps

Evaluation
• Please take time to complete an evaluation, these help
us reflect and tailor future CPD to help you get the most
out of the programme.
• When and how will I here about the next step?
‘Full Day in School’ Emails will be sent to you by the
