What is it?
This guide introduces Excellence and Enjoyment: Learning and teaching in the primary years - a set of continuing professional development (CPD) materials aimed at supporting schools deliver excellent learning and teaching across a rich and broad curriculum. These materials are a key part of the Primary Strategy's commitment to develop a framework for learning and teaching which will help raise standards further and improve pupil performance in Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1 and 2.
The companion guide and video (Introductory guide: Continuing professional development) focuses on the characteristics of effective CPD and looks at the evidence for successful models of professional development. They suggest how the materials available from September 2004 can be used in whole-staff professional development.
Ideally, leadership teams should use the introductory guides and video during the summer term to help them plan how to embed the CPD materials as part of their whole-school improvement priorities for the academic year 2004/05 and beyond. However, the guides and the materials can be used at other times if circumstances in a school make this more appropriate.
