Continuous Professional Development and Leadership Support

Delivered in Person and Virtually

CPD Training

ACE’s CPD is informed by the work of the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues. It is delivered by a team of character experts including ACE Chair Gary Lewis. Gary is a former Executive headteacher who has transformed schools through character, and is also an Advisor for the Department for Education on character education and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Jubilee Centre. If possible we recommend that the sessions are delivered in person, but there is the option for the training to be delivered virtually if required. Sessions are typically 90mins but can be adapted to suit different formats.

The ACE Character Education CPD Modules:

  1. Introduction to character education. What good character means and why it is important.
  2. Leadership, culture and ethos.
  3. Enabling positive behaviour and attitudes through character and virtue.
  4. Character and the curriculum. How to integrate character into core curriculum and stand alone lessons.
  5. Parent & Carer Engagement: how to foster a meaningful connection between character in school and character at home.
