If you want to improve your school, start with this one simple trick:
👉 Support your teachers to teach better.
Did you know the PTPDM policy contains practical ideas on how to improve your school as a Headteacher?
PTPDM stands for Pre-Tertiary Teacher Professional Development and Management.
At its core, the policy reminds us that schools do not improve by chance. While infrastructure and learning materials are important, lasting improvement happens when teachers are supported to grow in confidence, sharpen their skills, and become more effective in the classroom.
When teachers feel supported:
- Lessons improve
- Learners understand better
- Discipline challenges reduce
- School results improve
For Headteachers, this means leadership is not only about timetables, reports, and administration. It also involves creating opportunities for teachers to learn, share, and improve their classroom practice.
This does not require expensive programmes. Small actions such as encouraging peer support, discussing teaching challenges, or recognising good practice can make a big difference.
