"I speak very highly about the programme because of its practicality and the fact that I’m working with principals around the world. For me it’s really refreshing to know that someone else is in a similar position to me and that we can easily share ideas"

Bev Ross, NPQH, Deputy Principal, International School, Guandong Province, China

Who is it for?

NPQ for Leading Behaviour and Culture (NPQLBC) – For teachers who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading behaviour and/or supporting pupil wellbeing in their school.

Leading behaviour and culture is complex and professionals looking to lead in this area need to have expertise across a number of specialist areas related to their role (e.g. behaviour systems) and in approaches that, through working with their colleagues, enable their school to keep improving (e.g. professional development and implementation).

Leading culture and behaviour requires an understanding of the relationship between the different specialist areas, how they can change over time and how to contribute to a culture and conditions in which staff and pupils are able to thrive, all while maintaining the highest professional conduct as set out in the Teachers’ Standards.

How is NPQLBC delivered?

NPQLBC makes use of a blended delivery model consisting of virtual Face-to-Face events, online study, webinars and coaching.

NPQLBC candidates can choose to complete the programme via our online delivery model. This delivery model replaces the face-to-face events with facilitated webinars as well as extra tutor support and study packs.

Face-to-face

Face-to-Face

NPQLBC participants will attend 3 virtual face-to-face events via the blended delivery model. These events give participants the opportunity to learn from exceptional facilitators while fostering valuable connections with peers in the teaching community.

Our international delivery network allows us to bring in-person events to select countries, facilitated by local school leaders (please contact us for international locations).

Online Learning

Candidates access online learning and support via our virtual learning environment (VLE) Canvas. Through Canvas, candidates are able to engage with their peers, access multimedia content and submit work for assessment.
