Designing Training That Lasts
Coaching, Courses and the CPD That Changes Practice
Somewhere in every school there is a graveyard, and it is full of good intentions.
It is the folder of INSET no one has opened since the day it was handed out; the strategy launched with real energy in September and quietly abandoned by October; the expensive speaker who moved everyone in the hall and changed nothing on Monday. Professional development consumes an enormous amount of the sector's time, money and hope - and a dismaying proportion of it changes nothing at all.
Designing Training That Lasts is about the difference between the development that lands and the development that dies, and about how to design far more of the first kind. Its central claim is bracing and freeing: lasting change is not a matter of charisma, or content, or how good the day felt. Change is designed, not hoped for - and design can be learned.
Drawing on more than two decades in and around schools, and on the best current evidence about how adults actually learn and change, Laura Masson sets out a complete, practical model for professional development that finally sticks:
• The three strands. Development that adds up runs on three levels at once - one at whole-school or trust level, one at team level (grouped flexibly, not just by department), and one at the level of the individual. Weave the three together and development compounds; pull on only one and it frays.
• The coaching turn. Why sustained, expert coaching - built on small, precise, 'incremental' steps rather than grand transformations - is the most powerful tool we have, and how to make it responsive rather than robotic.
• Coaching and mentoring. The real difference between them, and how to give each person the kind of support their situation actually calls for.
• The craft of training that lasts. Inside-out sequencing, using participants' own settings as the material, cadence and spaced repetition, the artefacts that carry a change beyond the room, and treating people as the serious professionals they are.
• The outward-looking school. Using evidence without worshipping it, learning from and with other schools, and resisting the slow calcification of only ever talking to yourself.
• Making it stick. The follow-through, accountability and protected time that hold a well-designed change in place.
Fully current - grounded in the Education Endowment Foundation's mechanisms of effective professional development and the modern evidence on instructional and incremental coaching - every chapter closes with 'Questions for Your School', ready to take straight into a leadership meeting.
Written for anyone who designs or leads the development of others - CPD leads, directors of professional learning, heads, middle leaders, coaches and trainers, in any phase - this is a short, practical, quietly ambitious book for people who are done filling the graveyard and ready to build professional development that actually changes what teachers do.
Designing Training That Lasts is the seventh book in Laura Masson's series Advice from the Frontline of Education.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
