Educator CPD hours
Assesses whether educators meet a minimum target for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours annually, ensuring they remain up-to-date with best practices in teaching, safeguarding, and subject knowledge. The system includes a 'Role Competency & Training Matrix' to manage risk-based requirements (e.g., DSL, SENCO, EYFS), a specific 'Volunteer Educator Pathway' for non-employed staff, and mandatory induction modules before unsupervised delivery.
| Metric | Educator CPD Compliance & Impact |
|---|---|
| Target | ≥95% Matrix Compliance; ≥20h/FTE (≥6h/Vol); 100% Safeguarding/Prevent; ≥70% Impact Verified |
| Frequency | Termly |
| Method | Matrix compliance % + Avg Hours + Impact Verification % |
| Unit | Percentage / Hours |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
No formal CPD policy. Training is ad-hoc or non-existent. No induction process for new educators.
Level 2: Developing
Basic policy exists but lacks definition of qualifying hours. Some mandatory training (safeguarding) occurs but is not systematically tracked via a matrix. No volunteer specific pathway.
Level 3: Established
Formal policy with defined hours (FTE/Vol) and a Role Competency Matrix in place. Induction is mandatory and verified. Central logging exists but impact measurement is limited to attendance.
Level 4: Advanced
Strategic CPD: PDPs link to organisational goals and include 'Niyyah'. Budget and protected time are allocated. 'CPD-to-Classroom' reflection is required for logging. Trustee dashboard is active.
Level 5: Optimizing
Culture of Excellence: High compliance (≥95%) with accredited/research-based learning (Lesson Study). Impact is evidenced via robust rubrics and data. CPD is viewed as a spiritual and professional duty (*Iḥsān*).
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size
| Size | Applicability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | exempt | Formal CPD policies, competency matrices, and strict minimum hour tracking are disproportionate for entirely volunteer-run micro charities. |
| Small | partial | Scaled down to basic training logs; formal competency matrices and strict minimum hours are too burdensome for very small teams. |
| Medium | full | |
| Large | full | |
| Major | full |
