Why use CPSQ for teachers?

CPSQ for teachers is designed to help you support and develop teachers throughout their training. It allows you to:

tailor your programme by identifying training and development requirements
tackle teacher retention by spotting early signs of course withdrawal
support your trainees by understanding where interventions and coaching are required.

Our easy-to-manage online platform provides instant results and reports that you can share and discuss. You can have in-depth and focused conversations, which will help you to monitor the progress and wellbeing of your trainees.

Who uses CPSQ?

Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing is working with the Suffolk and Norfolk School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme.

Anna Richards, Executive Leader of Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT, says:

We know at heart that relationships influence the ways in which people cope with stress, access support and advice, learn, collaborate, and find fulfilment in their work, but it’s only by quantifying these things that we can properly manage them.

As part of our research into factors supporting trainee teachers to thrive on the course, we ask them to complete the Cambridge Personal Styles Questionnaire (CPSQ) as part of their induction process. This has helped us gain a greater insight into them and their styles of behaviour and has helped inform how we support them.
