The book is  a study of teacher professional development needs,  the consequences of particular levels of  professional development, the perceptions of  teachers of their own effectiveness and the main  barriers to improving the professional development  of teachers.  An evaluation of the effectiveness of CPD in the  framework of various available approaches to the  evaluation of CPD is analysed in the book. It shows  that head teachers and teachers both felt the need  for CPD for teachers but that this was expressed  much more strongly by the heads than by the  teachers. The area in which this need was expressed  most strongly was in relation to external pressures  on schools for new curriculum initiatives and  examination performance. In general, the concludes  that there is a felt need for CPD and its value for  teachers and schools and it confirms the  association between teacher quality and pupil  examination outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844317190\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHead and Teacher Perspectives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844317190","offer_id":39495931265117,"sku":"9783844317190","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1d94080d-4859-4912-9a95-66ff7fee9c01.jpg?v=1765260542","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/the-value-of-continuing-professional-development-von-henry-onderi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
