Alongside this, Hachette Learning Academy will serve as a dedicated platform for professional development. It offers educators flexible, accredited courses designed to enhance teaching practices and foster continual growth. From leadership skills to SEND training, the academy’s accredited personalised pathways ensure that teachers receive the support they need to thrive in the classroom.
