Lifelong learning through continuous professional development

At Mulberry College of Teaching, we recognise that post-graduate teacher training is just the start of a teacher’s learning journey. Our commitment to lifelong learning through continuous professional development (CPD) is ever-evolving. Our programmes are designed to support educators throughout their careers, helping them to adapt, innovate, and lead in their teaching practices.

Commitment to continuous growth

We believe that effective teaching thrives on fresh ideas and new skills. That’s why our CPD is integrated into every stage of a teacher’s career. From the latest pedagogical research to innovative classroom technologies, we ensure our educators are well-equipped to meet the challenges of modern education and inspire young people’s aspirations, engagement and success.

“The schools share an approach which is to support and nurture their trainee teachers to become confident, ambitious and often outstanding practitioners in their subjects. I have certainly felt challenged through my teacher training so far – but at all times supported and offered help and advice by the most experienced and willing of colleagues.” Oliver – trainee teacher

Tailored professional development

Every teacher’s journey is unique, which is why our CPD programmes are as diverse as the educators and students we support. Whether it’s through workshops, seminars, or collaborative projects, we offer a range of opportunities tailored to meet the individual needs and career stages of our teachers. This personalised approach ensures that our educators not only maintain their professional standards but also continue to develop their teaching strategies and leadership skills.

Collaboration and community learning

At the heart of our CPD is the belief in the power of community and collaboration. Mulberry College of Teaching is contributing to a vibrant professional learning community where educators share insights, challenge each other, and grow together. Through regular networking events and peer mentoring, our teachers build strong professional networks that support their personal and career development.

The impact of our sustained focus on CPD is evident in the classrooms of East London and beyond.
