Why invest in developing teachers' subject knowledge?

Improve student outcomes – there is strong evidence that deep subject knowledge impacts student outcomes.

“The most effective teachers have deep knowledge of the subjects they teach” The Sutton Trust, 2014

Inspire effective teaching – high-quality CPD for teachers has a significant effect on pupils’ learning outcomes.

“There is good evidence that high-quality professional development (CPD) for teachers can significantly improve pupils’ attainment.” Education Policy Institute, 2020

Help all teachers access CPD – Out of 36 OECD countries, England ranks 30th in the amount of time spent on professional development. 

High-quality professional development in the UK remains the privilege of a few, whilst others are too often denied access to the support and development they deserve.
