Silvana Richardson’s talk draws on research evidence from large-scale international studies to explore why teachers’ CPD is a fundamental activity in any organisation that is serious about its learners’ learning, what forms of CPD are particularly effective, what factors need to be in place, and how leaders can ensure that effective CPD is implemented.
Silvana’s work includes being the Head of Teacher Development at Bell Educational Services, Academic Director at Bell Teacher Campus, Cambridge, and Programme Quality Manager at the Bell Foundation.
Silvana has worked in English Language Teaching for 30 years as teacher and academic manager, and has trained EFL, MFL, ESOL, EAL, CLIL and subject teachers and trainers in the state and private sectors both in the UK and abroad. She has been Director of the Bell Delta Online and has written materials for Cambridge University Press and the Bell Delta Online Modules. Silvana is a speaker in international conferences and a Quality Assurance inspector.
