Post-programme community hub

Whether you have completed a professional development programme with CEL, or you are interested in exploring some fantastic opportunities with us, the post-programme community hub is the best way of staying in touch with us and all that we offer.

The Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL) is the UK’s largest university-based centre for research, teaching, development and innovation in educational leadership. We sit inside IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society. We have been shaping policy and helping government, organisations and individuals to navigate a radically changing society for the last 120 years.

ECF Staffroom

In the ECF Staffroom podcast, CEL programme leaders Elaine Long and Mark Quinn speak to Early Career Teachers, mentors, facilitators, and participants at all levels of the UCL Early Career Teacher Development programme. They share with us the challenges of the programme and how they go about making sure it meets their needs.

Opportunities to study at IOE

CEL offers the entire range of National Professional Qualifications and graduate programmes. Our NPQs are designed and delivered with national partners who share our belief in equity and research-informed professional development that supports educational leaders to develop their leadership practice.
