</p><p>NCTL licensed the delivery of leadership development, including the National
Professional Qualification for Headteachers to School led consortiums in 2012. The
qualifications are developed around a leadership curriculum combining a range of essential
and elective modules. All qualifications have a rigorous final assessment process.</p><p>
</p><p>There are no specific centrally-generated materials on the NPQH for participants
on conducting their first round of monitoring and evaluating teachers in a new school.
However the entry assessment process, which is administered by a commissioned provider,
contains a leadership competence on “Holding to account”. Both this and the performance
management of staff and appraisal are covered generically within the programme.</p><p>
</p><p>In addition, the NPQH Essential modules, ‘Leading an effective school’ and
‘Leading and improving teaching’, which are mandatory, include content on teacher
quality and standards, monitoring and evaluating teaching and performance management/appraisal.
Licensees can enhance the modules by including additional material.</p><p> </p>
