The Literacy Professional Development Project (LPDP) provides schools with an in-depth professional development programme that focuses on improving student learning and achievement in literacy through evidence-based practice. The project also has a focus on the professional learning that has an ongoing effect on student progress and achievement.

The introduction paper and four research reports, Improving Learning for All: Learning from the Literacy Professional Development Project(LPDP), focus on student learning, teacher learning, facilitator learning, and learning across the whole education system. They contain ideas of relevance to teachers, school leaders, facilitators of professional learning, and policy makers across the education sector.

The content of these reports has been sourced from previously published research conducted by the researchers (Professor Helen Timperley and Associate Professor Judy Parr from the University of Auckland) working within LPDP, in partnership with project members.
