Building professional connections

Diverse Association for Professional Learning (DAPL) is a training provision that continues to grow and evolve. As part of Diverse Academies Trust, we look forward to embracing new initiatives and offering development opportunities for all those working in education to help strengthen professional relationships but also to support those committed to positively influencing the lives of our young people.

In view of this, we are looking to develop an Association Community, welcoming previous Association members and building professional connections with new members, so that we can share a rich and diverse programme of CPD with each other.

Adopting a collaborative approach, we hope all our community members will benefit from a wide-ranging CPD offer to enhance their professional practice.

Why get involved?

Subscribing to become a member of the community is free and will guarantee several benefits, including:

  • immediate access to high quality CPD events and keynote speakers;
  • discounts for booking CPD programmes;
  • and regular use of fantastic training facilities, including the newly refurbished training ‘Hub’ at Retford Education Centre.

Our strong strategic partnership with Redhill Teaching Hub will also ensure community members have access to up-to-date information on initial teacher training, early careers framework and national professional qualifications (NPQs) – all of which are key focus areas in education.

Key benefits of subscribing to the Association Community

  • One free place on an Association programme of your choice
  • Termly bulletin to include a message from the CEO, calendar of events, ITE updates, and CPD offers available to members
  • Regular updates from the Association team
  • Sharing CPD opportunities in your academy/school
