CPD That Sticks (Not Just Slides)

This live 90-minute strategic support session is designed for senior and middle leaders responsible for shaping INSET and whole-school CPD. It will be delivered by our Director of Education, Costas Constantinou, and will draw on key principles from his book A School Leader’s Guide to Leading Professional Development.

Effective professional development should lead to measurable improvements in teaching, learning and pupil outcomes — not simply fulfil compliance requirements. This session will support leaders in aligning CPD planning with school improvement priorities, inspection expectations and long-term implementation strategy.

Participants are encouraged to bring their questions and current plans. The session will provide practical guidance to help translate key ideas into purposeful action.

This is an interactive session where leaders can reflect on their existing approach, test their thinking and refine clear next steps.

Costa Costantinou

Costa Constantinou co-founded Veema in 2013 after a long teaching career in London. He is driven by his passionate belief in the transformative power of education to create opportunities. Growing up in a migrant family, Costa embraced the significance of schooling from an early age. Having been deprived of education, his parents instilled a deep appreciation for learning.

Costa understands firsthand the needs and priorities of schools today. He has led national and international keynotes and workshops on improving teaching and learning, school leadership, and implementing and managing effective change. Costa passionately advocates that professional development is a requisite tool for teachers to engage with pedagogy, offer collaborative working partnerships, challenge and advance existing practice. Taken together, these sharpen our ability to focus on how we teach and how pupils learn — a reflective approach that, at its core, sees learning through the eyes of the learner.

Veema’s professional development and school improvement programmes empower teachers and school leaders worldwide, fostering continuous learning for the benefit of their students.
