Why this programme?

Ambition Institute has designed this ground-breaking NPQ to help you develop a culture of

high expectations and good behaviour in your school.

Ambition’s 'little and often' approach uses the latest evidence to help you put your learning

into practice in your school setting. You will train alongside other teachers with similar

Benefits for you

Become an expert

No matter what your ultimate career goal, this programme offers continuous professional

development and a chance to develop specific expertise with tailored feedback and support.

Drive meaningful change

Develop your knowledge in leading behaviour and culture and apply it in practice across

your school to engage and motivate staff and pupils and reduce disruption in classrooms.

Create a positive school culture

Learn to think beyond managing individual classrooms and develop school-wide systems

and processes to support pupils and get the best out of them.

Train to your timetable

This programme is designed to fit around your busy teaching role and much of the work can

be completed in bite-size chunks around your existing schedule.

Build your network

You will complete this programme alongside other teachers working in similar school

environments. This gives you a chance to share your experiences and build a valuable

support network.

Benefits for your school

Improve pupil outcomes

Pupils are more likely to thrive in a positive and encouraging school environment driven by

model behaviour and a consistent approach to rules and rewards.

Build a positive culture

Investing in your teachers’ development will make them feel supported and more satisfied in

their work. This will filter down to the classroom, creating happier, more motivated pupils.

Highly flexible delivery

Our new NPQs are designed to fit around your teachers’ existing working timetables and are

delivered in short, sharp bursts of learning. Your participants can complete weekly, online

units, at a time that suits them.

Create a common knowledge base

All of Ambition Institute’s NPQs are aligned. Teachers and leaders who complete them share

a common language and framework to drive behavioural and cultural change across your

school.

Share knowledge

Participants will be learning alongside other teachers whose contexts are similar, facilitated

by experienced trainers who know and understand your needs.

Assessment

The assessment window starts at the end of the 12-month programme and runs for three

months. During this time, participants will be given an eight-day window to sit an ‘open book’

style assessment in which they respond to a short case study.

There are two assessment windows every year, and participants can sit the assessment two

times, if they need to.

Ambition Institute will offer a webinar and live clinic in advance of the assessment window to

support participants.
