Teacher CPD

Examiner-informed professional development for Business teachers who want clearer delivery, stronger assessment confidence and better student outcomes.

Decimal Education offers practical CPD for Business teachers shaped by specifications, mark schemes and what genuinely improves student performance. CPD is designed to be clear, useful and easy to apply in the classroom.

Teacher CPD is suitable for ECTs, experienced teachers, non-specialists, second-subject teachers and departments who want practical guidance, stronger assessment confidence and clearer ways to support students across GCSE, A Level, BTEC, IB and T Level pathways.

CPD can be tailored to the needs of individual teachers, departments or schools. Themes include: 

• support for new specifications
• teaching analysis as a chain of reasoning
• understanding course and assessment requirements 
• building evaluation that earns higher marks
• command words and what different questions actually require
• marking accuracy and standardisation
• BTEC writing and criteria support
• support for ECTs and non-specialists
• using mark schemes and examiner reports effectively
• planning support for stronger written responses

CPD can be delivered online as webinars, workshops or structured support sessions. Support can be arranged for individual teachers, small departments or wider school groups, depending on need.
