A multimillion-pound Government fund will be used to ensure every school in England has access to a “local centre of excellence for teacher training”.
The Department for Education (DfE) has announced it will allocate £65 million in funding for 81 teaching school hubs across the country.
The hubs, which are part of the Government’s school improvement programme, are aiming to provide high-quality professional development to teachers and heads, as well as helping to “build up” trainees.
School staff are set to receive expert advice on how best to engage with pupils, lesson planning and classroom management as part of new teaching school hubs being rolled out, the DfE has said.
