The Science of Staff Development: Which 'Ogogy' Actually Sticks?

04 Jun 2026

To drive genuine improvement, we must master Didagogy: the science of professional development- teachers teaching teachers. This fast-paced, high-impact workshop deconstructs the shift from Pedagogy (teaching children), Andragogy (adult learning), Heutagogy (self-determined growth) to Didagogy.

As a Senior leader, you don’t just need a strategy; you need an implementation loop that changes daily habits. We will dive into the cognitive science of teacher development, exploring why most CPD fails and how to build a culture of "Micro-Refinements." Grounded in the "Try, Refine, Ditch" mantra, you’ll leave with a toolkit to transform performative sessions into sustained professional learning. Expect no fluff, just evidence-informed tactics to ensure your T&L vision actually sticks in the classroom.
