'Call for evidence' launched to support NPQ review
The government has launched a call for evidence as part of its review into the national professional qualification (NPQ) framework.
This forms part of the process to formally review the NPQs, which aims to ensure they are based on the best available evidence and best-practice of teaching and leadership in education.
The call for evidence is seeking recent, relevant and high-quality research that may inform updates to the evidence-base underpinning three NPQ frameworks. These are Headship (NPQH), Senior Leadership (NPQSL) and Executive Leadership (NPQEL).
