The Department for Education has launched a new £9.5 million fund to strengthen the professional development of Further education teaching staff. Further education providers are being invited to partner up and submit bids for up to £500,000 to develop approaches to professional development and training that improve teaching practices and enable career progression.
The FE Professional Development Grant will provide training and support to staff to strengthen skills and confidence to use technology effectively to deliver education to young people and adults, as well as subject-specific development to improve curriculum design and teaching, learning, and assessment. There will also be tailored support for new and inexperienced teachers to help career progression and aid retention.
The deadline for applications is the 26th July 2021.
