Now more than ever, schools must focus on their Continued Professional Development (CPD) to ensure employees have the confidence and capabilities to be motivated and to influence student performance and achievements.
CPD is key to the retention of staff, an area where schools and colleges are really suffering. It provides development opportunities for people to enhance knowledge and skills, especially teachers, who can continue to effectively support students by applying their knowledge and skills in the classroom.
CPD develops a culture of improvement and excellence in schools, encouraging people to self-develop and keep up-to-date with skills and practices. It is vital within this development, that staff are aware of crucial policies, such as Keeping Children Safe in Education.
CPD can also be monitored through the performance management process, by identifying how an individual is developing and what actions they take for their continuous development at each review. HR systems will be able to help monitor this development by tracking progress digitally and storing evidence in an online portal, keeping everything together. Digital solutions can also provide reminders and deadlines for tasks to keep the employer and employee on track. Our HRIS, SAMpeople can provide all of this and more through a cloud-based GDPR compliant system. If you wish to learn more about SAMpeople and its extensive array of modules, request a demo.
