The Steplab Method: PD Leadership Intensive

The Steplab Method: PD Leadership Intensive

Angel SquareManchester, England
Monday, Mar 23, 2026 from 9 am to 4 pm
Overview

You don't just get a training day; you get an implementation roadmap to hone your leadership skills and run a PD programme that works.

This in-depth, targeted training will show you the way, with a focus on developing and implementing an evidence-informed PD programme that combines group rehearsal, lesson drop-ins and instructional coaching.

This £155 investment ensures every hour of PD you lead next year actually improves teaching.

Delivered by Steplab’s team of PD experts.

Who is this for?

  • Leaders of PD in a phase/department, school or trust
  • Headteachers/trust leaders with oversight of PD in their setting

What will I learn?

  • How to upskill leaders and unite them around a shared vision for improving teaching and learning
  • How to visit lessons and identify foci for PD
  • How to use group rehearsal (deliberate practice) to develop teaching techniques and coaching expertise
  • How to build culture and embed training through drop-ins

How will I learn?

  • In this highly practical training day, you’ll dig into the theory of effective PD, engage with models, and script and rehearse training that you can take back and deliver in your school(s)
  • Access Steplab’s Implementation Roadmap - a bespoke online course which will support you and your team to hone your leadership skills and run a PD programme that works in your context
