National Professional Qualification in Leading Behaviour and Culture (NPQLBC)

We are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Ambition Institute to deliver the new NPQ for Leading Behaviour and Culture. In 12 months, participants will gain expertise in behaviour management and discover how to create a school culture where staff and pupils can thrive.

Those doing the training will learn: 

• How to create a positive culture in their school.
• At a time and pace that suits their existing timetable.
• Specific behaviour and culture expertise with tailored feedback and support.

How you will learn: 

• The content is delivered through blended learning over a period of 12 months.  This includes a mix of real-time, interactive online sessions and self-guided modules you complete in your own time. The programme includes facilitator-led sessions with your peer group that focus on decision-making.
  • 1 x full day conference (facilitated, in-person)
  • 6 x courses (each course lasts six weeks and loosely aligned to a school half term).  Each course includes six modules which you complete on Steplab, your online learning platform.
  • 5 x two-hour clinics (facilitated, online 4-6pm)
  • 1 x two-hour assessment clinic (facilitated, in-person)
  • 3 x communities (1hr 15mins group sessions)

Benefits to your school:

• One of a series of new, specialist NPQs.
• Introduce a common framework for teacher development.
• Training facilitated by experienced educators.
