Welcome to Teach-Lead
With a strong background in professional development and school improvement, I support schools through bespoke CPD, tailored to each setting’s needs, context, and budget.
My CPD sessions are known for being practical, evidence‑informed, and designed to meet the specific needs of each audience; whether for action‑planning, whole‑school training, or ongoing leadership support.
Update: August CPD sessions are in demand and are available on request.
Online coaching and planning sessions are also available in the evening.
CPD Guest Speaker: ResearchED, MRLP (EA), Litdrive National Conference & Litdrive Belfast.
