CPD: staff and governing board knowledge
Governing boards, senior leaders and teachers need to be equipped with the skills to deliver on improving environmental sustainability. This includes providing the capacity and budget to do so.
NGA’s CPD guidance provides advice on how boards can establish a culture where staff development is valued and prioritised.
As a starting point, you could ask:
Have staff received any CPD relevant to environmental sustainability?
Have staff been given the capacity to carry out CPD?
Have governors/trustees received any CPD relevant to environmental sustainability?
Other considerations include:
Budget – allocate budget for CPD and consider e-learning as a cost effective option
Precedent – investing in staff and governors sets a precedent for the whole school/trust
Sustainability lead – allocating responsibility is crucial in driving work forward
