The Library · CPD for In-Service Teachers · 2026-27

The expertise is already in the room.

Three programmes that turn your teachers' experience into artefacts the school keeps. We bring the structure; your staffroom brings the substance.

Built by the room

Your staffroom already holds deep professional knowledge. Every session surfaces it, shares it, and builds on it, with our facilitator as orchestrator and your teachers' expertise as the raw material.

Teachers as the data source

Every session opens with a question only the room can answer: their marking history, their students, their syllabus. Our slides have gaps; the room fills them.

Structured disagreement

Real learning happens at points of productive conflict, so we design them in. Peers argue positions out against the evidence, and techniques travel teacher to teacher.

Jointly authored artefacts

Every session builds a living document on screen, with named contributions. What leaves the room is visibly theirs: our scaffolding, their substance.

AI under collective judgement

AI output is generated live and improved by the room. Critiquing a machine is socially safe, respects real expertise, and turns adoption into co-construction.

The principle behind it: professional knowledge grows through dialogue among peers, so that is exactly how every session is designed.

Built for the real staffroom

In-service PD is delivered to professionals who have seen a lot of PD. These four commitments are how we earn a room that walks in expecting to be bored.

Nothing patronising

Content is pitched at professionals. No icebreakers, no basics they mastered a decade ago, and no jargon from us. Ever.

No homework generated

Everything is finished inside the session. Teachers leave with work done, not another task added to the pile.

Payoff within a week

Every session includes something usable tomorrow: a tool, a plan, a resource. Behaviour change never depends on belief.

The first ten minutes

Rooms decide fast. We open every session with something only their experience can answer, never with our slides.

One honest promise: no PD converts a whole staffroom in an afternoon. A well-designed one wins the engaged, serves the pragmatic, and gives the sceptical nothing to push against.

Programme 01

The Results Engine

Outcome-focused CPD aimed squarely at the metric every staffroom already cares about: board results. Departments mine their own marking history to find exactly where marks are lost, then build the recovery plan together, chapter by chapter.

Signature sessions

Where the Marks Go

Chapter-by-chapter mark-loss mapping, drawn from the room's own years of marking. The answer is in the room, not in our deck.

The Topper's Answer

Two veterans mark the same script, arrive at different marks, and argue it out against the scheme. The argument is the learning.

What the room produces

  1. A mark-recovery plan for each class, ranked by marks reclaimable per unit.
  2. A moderated marking consensus the whole department signs off on.
  3. A backwards-planned revision calendar for the board year.

Best for: Teachers of classes 9 to 12 in board years, run department-wise. Strongest as a series across the academic year.

Programme 02

The Invisible Assistant

AI applied to everything around teaching: planning, differentiation, question banks, reports, and routine paperwork. No belief in AI is required. Teachers automate one real task in the room, and the hours saved make the argument for them.

Signature sessions

The Paperwork Amnesty

Every teacher brings one dreaded administrative task and leaves with it automated. Finished in the room, usable that week.

Critique the Machine

The room collectively tears apart an AI-generated answer or question set and rebuilds it better, proving where their judgement remains irreplaceable.

What the room produces

  1. A personal AI toolkit mapped to each teacher's actual weekly tasks.
  2. A department prompt bank, written in the department's own language.
  3. A shared, honest list of what AI must never be trusted with.

Best for: Whole staff, from primary to senior secondary. The widest-appeal programme, and the one most likely to change behaviour within a week.

Programme 03

The Master's Room

Your most experienced teachers as authors, not audience. Decades of classroom wisdom, the errors students always make and the explanations that always land, captured as a name-credited school knowledge base. Authorship and credit, never extraction.

Signature sessions

The Misconception Atlas

The room pools the mistakes students make in every chapter. Knowledge that does not exist until this group builds it.

The Annotated Answer Bank

Exemplar answers annotated with veteran insight into why they score, each entry credited to the teacher who contributed it.

What the room produces

  1. A living Misconception Atlas, organised by subject and chapter.
  2. An annotated answer bank carrying each contributor's name.
  3. An induction resource that gives new teachers a decade's head start.

Best for: Experienced staff whose expertise deserves a legacy. Especially valuable for schools facing retirements or high turnover.

The four moves of every session

The same choreography runs through all three programmes. Only the raw material changes.

Open with the room

The first question belongs to their expertise, not our slides: where do your students lose marks? Our deck has visible gaps only the room can fill.

Structure the disagreement

We stage productive conflict. Colleagues defend different marks, rankings, or methods against the evidence, and learning travels peer to peer.

Build the artefact live

The document grows on screen with named contributions, so ownership is visible line by line as it is built.

Close with the reversal

We end by asking what this room produced today: a two-minute credit walk through the artefact and its authors.

Formats that fit a working school

90 minutes, after school

Twilight Session

A sharp, single-artefact taster of any programme. The lowest-commitment way to let a staffroom judge us by our work.

3 to 4 hours, on a PD day

Half-Day Intensive

One programme in depth: full choreography, full artefact, department-wise groupings where the content demands it.

3 to 5 sessions across a term

Term Series

The complete programme, with artefacts compounding session on session into a resource the school keeps permanently.

All formats include facilitation, materials, live AI demonstrations with offline fallbacks, and a post-session digital pack. Audience composition is agreed in advance so every session lands with the teachers actually in the room.

Bring the expertise. We'll bring the structure.

Choose

Pick a programme, or let us propose a sequence for your year after a short conversation about your staff.

Compose

We agree audience, format, and departments, and tailor every session to your syllabus and context.

Co-create

We facilitate, your teachers build the artefact, and the school keeps everything that is made.

Thank you. We will be in touch to plan your year.
