Our Teaching for Creativity programme supports teachers to put into practice significant theory and research around teaching creative skills to their pupils across the curriculum. Along with a selection of teaching resources, we also provide CPD sessions. If you are just getting started, or are looking to further embed Teaching for Creativity into your practice, then here are some existing CPD resources to help you. You can use these resources as an individual, or use them to support you in delivering self-guided CPD in your setting with your colleagues.
If we aren't currently running any live or in-person CPD events, you can find out more about how to book them at the bottom of the page.

Individual Resource CPD Modules – developing the habits
Some of our Teaching for Creativity Resources come with CPD modules delivered by the artists who worked on them, to support teachers in how to deliver the activities in the resource, and to provide tips on assessment for learning in developing the habit the resource focuses on. You may find the below CPD videos useful if you want to find out more about developing a particular habit, even if you are not using the resource it is linked to.
