Professional Development Programmes 2012
NAPTOSA has always held the view that the teacher is the single-most important factor in achieving quality teaching and learning in schools.
The Mc Kinsey report "How the best schools come out on top" (2007) found that internationally the performance of a school is determined first and foremost by what happens in the classroom.
NAPTOSA values its teachers and strives to promote the ongoing professional development of its members. Several provincially-based programmes are available to all teachers (including non-members).
For more information on these programmes, read on . . . .
