The podcast that brings you the latest in research and practice in teacher professional development.

The Teacher Development Trust is a charity, based in the UK, dedicated to promoting the effective professional development of teachers and school leaders.

We are driven by our values - smart, heart, and humble:

  • We are Smart - our work is deeply rooted in evidence. We want to know what works and seek out the best minds to shape everything we produce.
  • We have Heart - Teaching and learning is about people and connection, and it must tie back to the expert, empowered teacher at the front of the classroom.
  • We are Humble - We are always learning. We are led by the evidence, but we also have the humility to keep testing our understanding and adapt.

  • Evaluating Teacher CPD

    Evaluating Teacher CPD
    Oct 15 2025

    Evaluation is an important part of any professional development programme - it helps you know that what you wanted to achieve is actually happening. But it can feel hard to find the time to do it well, and there are lots of complicated approaches and bits of advice out there. In this episode we'll go back to basics, asking our expert guests what evaluation is, why it matters, how you do it well, what mistakes do people make, and where should you start.

    We are delighted to be joined by Heena Dave, Karl Edwards, Bethan Hindley, Tom Manthorpe, and Sarah Harding.

  • What is Didagogy?

    What is Didagogy?
    Sep 24 2025

    In this episode we explore a new report by the Teacher Development Trust on what is unique about the teaching of teachers. An expert group has been considering this issue and is proposing a new word - didagogy - to describe the teaching of teachers.

    But what is didagogy? What is the problem it is trying to solve, what are the issues with creating a new term, and what might the tangible impact in the system?

    Hear from Andrea Bean (TDT), Professor Tanya Ovenden-Hope (Plymouth Marjon), Sam Gibbs (GMET), Emma Hollis (NASBTT), Lia Commissar (NIOT), and Louise Worgan (TDT).
