Non-positional teacher leadership (NPTL) Information and guidance

This guide supports the implementation of non-positional teacher leadership in schools, an approach that enables any member of staff - regardless of formal role or status - to exercise leadership through teacher-led change. Developed alongside Teachers and the Practice of Leadership (Frost et al., 2025), it provides comprehensive guidance and tools for establishing and facilitating a school‑based programme that includes workshops, tutorials, and network events. The programme empowers educators to identify professional concerns, design and lead development projects, and collaborate with colleagues to improve practice. 

The implementation guide is accompanied by detailed workshop session guides and tools, all of which can be accessed through this link.
