Continuous Professional Development
Everyone at The British International Schools of Stavanger is a learner. Our professional development programme is linked to our staff appraisal scheme and the school development planning systems. To this end, school provides CPD through formal events and activities such as:
- IB workshops;
- support to access higher education qualifications;
- external consultant visits to school;
- scheduled 'in service' training days;
- strategic meetings and committees.
The British International Schools of Stavanger is also registered to support and mentor learning towards the UK QTS qualification. Learning can be both informal and inquiry-based and responsive to the needs of students and the teaching community. Most importantly, every member of staff is empowered in his/her own learning development.

To this end we believe:
- Effective professional learning for teachers ensures high quality student learning experiences through improved teaching practice and assessment strategies.
- All staff should seek professional learning opportunities, regardless of their experience or skill level.
- Professional learning is a lifelong process.
- Professional learning encourages collaboration between colleagues.
- Professional learning is most effective when staff identify personal goals and interests that are linked to the students' needs and the school priorities.
Every member of staff has a responsibility to keep abreast of current research and practices, to ensure that students and their families benefit from best practice.
