The report is intended for the Welsh Government, headteachers and staff in schools and may be of interest to local authorities, regional consortia, the National Academy for Educational Leadership and others. The report includes detailed case studies of the professional learning opportunities provided for staff in nine schools across Wales.

Recommendations

To improve the provision and quality of leadership development, regional consortia and other providers of professional learning should work together to consider:

• R1 How to increase the focus on developing leaders’ ability to bring about improvement in the quality of teaching and learning
• R2 How best to evaluate the impact of leadership development programmes over time
